    Hello,

     

     So we are currently testing the ANT-3x3-D100 for an outdoor wireless project. I created a makeshift stand out of some wood to attach the ANT-3x3-D100 to. It is then connected to an AP-124 (I had one laying around). The overall plan is to attach two ANT-3x3-D100's to an ap 274 one for 2.4 and one for 5.

     

     1st Question - Will the AP-124 be able to handle the ANT-3x3-D100.

    2nd Question - If so, what should I configure the external antenna gain to?

     

    I can only find on the data sheet for the ANT-3x3-D100 Min 5dBi for both 2.4 and 5

     

    (Im new to aruba Wireless)

    Yes it should work fine. As far as gain is concerned, for this antenna type, you can configure a maximum of 5dBi for both 2.4 and 5GHz.

     Though it will work as 2x2 for AP-124.
