MR66 questions

[kYutobi]

We have an MR66 setup in the gymnasium and I was just curious to ask the community. If I stand close to the AP no matter what I can never connect to it which is odd. There are 2 antennas which I have a picture provided. One is inside and the other is outside. Should I be able to connect to the AP from inside the gym with the other antennas?      I would appreciate any advice and sorry the images flip automatically here when it uploads.

Seems like you're not actually using a sector antenna on the inside but rather two omni's. I assume those are ANT-20's? Have you tried changing the config to reflect that. It now states ANT-13 which is the 2.4GHz sector, which would be a stronger antenna and therefore the AP would tone down it's actual signal strength to avoid passing the legal limits.

@BrechtSchamp Im just even trying to see if I can have it connect inside the gym. Outside has no issues so you suggest I change antenna settings?

Outside seems to be using the 5GHz connectors. And it seems that 5GHz is correctly configured to being connected to a sector antenna. The 2.4GHz seems to be configured to be connected to a sector antenna too, while in reality they seem to be omni's. So yes, I'd try changing that setting for the 2.4GHz radio.

Thank you @BrechtSchamp Never could get anything connected inside till this change. Now I can just leave it there.
