My base router is an Asus AC87U, and I'm using an AC68U as a repeater. Works pretty well; the AC68U reports "Link rate: 234 Mbps, RSSI: -58 dBm" and we get up to 60 mbps (of our 200mbps) through it.
The AC87U is in the guest house/office, with just 1 ethernet client, and the AC68U is in the main house, with several WiFi clients. They're separated by about 50 feet of outdoor space, and several (thin) walls & windows.
Now, the AC68U is missing one antenna, so I want to buy a replacement.
But while I'm at it – would it help to replace the stock antennae with something like those long-range 9dBi ? Or 6dBi?
And if so, would I want to do that on both routers? Or just the base?
Thanks!
