Disrek Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I put the antennas from xr1000 on R3 with an adapter and got a better signal range. SMA to RPSMA Coax Connector. TrayDay, Zippy and sharpz44 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 5 Administrators Share Posted January 5 I'm not too surprised, those antennae are pretty chunky! Very interesting though, how much range was gained approximately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miiiithraaks Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 @Disrek Awesome! Are the adapters you used just SMA Male to RPSMA Female? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disrek Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 Yes SMA Male to RP-SMA Female. Approximately 5 to 10 feet. Increased transmit link speed on pixel 8 pro in bedroom furthest from router from 200 mbps to 600 mbps. Miiiithraaks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 5 Administrators Share Posted January 5 Thanks for the information, I will pass it onto the team to see if this helps in anyway, that's good about the link speed, does that actually convert into a higher speed test result?

Disrek Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 Yes it did increase speedtest from 200-300 to 300 to 400. The only thing is that i was using channel 161 on 5 ghz on xr1000 it is less congested in my area but its not on R3. I made a previous post. Im sure that channel will help with wifi stability once available Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrayDay Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I was curious. So, I tried this using the Antennas from my AX88U. I had to get THIS adapter since the Antennas from that router are without a pin in the middle. I will say that the R3 was already doing a better job at transmitting to the first floor compared to my AX88U. The ax88u, would still provide a bit more bandwidth at the expense of latency on my first floor, but, the R3 in its consistency, has been spot on. Now that I got the adapter, it's reduce the latency a little bit more, but it's STABLE for Wi-Fi. Almost, like connected directly with Ethernet, stable. The ping/latency stays consistent. Thanks for sharing. PharmDawgg, Zippy and Disrek 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing. That's really cool, I have let the team know that different antennae have provided better performance so we can look into it.

PharmDawgg Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 If anyone find any antennas that you can purchase that are compatible with the R3 without having to use the adapter. Please post. 😂 Netduma Fraser and sharpz44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindlash Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 wonder what adaptor(s) would be needed for the XR500 > R3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
