Yes and yes.Hi folks,
Multi external antennas on routers/APs - do they actually do anything? Should they be in a specific orientation to your needs/to each other?
So do they all need to be pointing in the same orientation to be effective? Or is it a trade off/balance?Multiple antennas are what allow multiple spatial streams / MIMO to work, in order to deliver higher throughput
Additionally you may also have separate antennas for sending vs receiving, to further split things up and allow more throughput
You see the sticks that come out of the head of butterfly?What?
Hmm... so I must read the manual .Yes and yes.
But it hugely depends on the antennas being used.
For example you've got omni-directional antennas which are required to be in a specific orientation, or you've got patch/sector antennas which have specific beamwidths.
Assuming normal Antenna, then they should all point in the same direction - aerials normally radiate outward like a donutSo do they all need to be pointing in the same orientation to be effective? Or is it a trade off/balance?
Aha I've always suspected as much....So do they all need to be pointing in the same orientation to be effective? Or is it a trade off/balance?

I was going to say try some of these SMA Splitter Connector SMA Male to Dual SMA Male Triple Tee Adapter. But you seemed to have sorted it.Thanks, great contributions to the thread.
