Hello
I was moving my ac68 and one of the antennas fell off, when I noticed a part of the antenna was still attached to the router. So my guess is that the antenna is broken, right?
Can I replace it with any other antenna?
Thanks

I lost a set for a my N66 and replaced with some antennas I found on Amazon. They seem to work fine. A link is below though they seem to be out of stock.

According to the FCC documents the stock antenna gain is about 1.9dBi @ 2.4GHz and 3.9dBi @ 5GHz. So you'd probably want to get something with similar values. Although the dBi numbers quoted by the antenna sellers I would take with a huge pinch of salt.
