Hi everyone,
I have an interesting project. Sort of a "One Device to Rule them All". I was unable to locate a clear cut answer via Google/or searching the forum.
I would like to take an Asus RT-AC88U with it's 8-port Switch and locate the actual unit inside a (well ventilated) media cabinet where all the Ethernet cables terminate.
However, that would obscure the Wi-Fi and bury the antennas.
Questions for the Wi-Fi Experts:
1.) Can I "reliably" throw the base station in the cabinet for the Ethernet connections, and simply run RP-SMA extension cables back outside the cabinet and mount the 4 antennas on the wall or outside the cabinet?
-if yes
2.) Do I need to maintain the "factory spacing" of how they were mounted to the base station or can I just space them out further or closer or custom?
Thanks in advance. Seems like a simple solution, relocate the antennas, but I am most confused about geometry.
