Hi folks,

Hopefully this is a easy one for you.

I've got a TL-1043ND running Barrier Breaker (r39440). This router has 3 detachable antennas and I have removed all of them in order to be able to use an external Sectorial antenna to reach a few other points in a mid-range distance. I have connected this Sectorial antenna to one of the RP-SMA connectors and left the other two without.

On the /etc/config/wireless I'm using the following relevant lines:

        option diversity '0'
        option rxantenna '0x1'
        option txantenna '0x1'

Which supposedly means it will only use that antenna port. Or if I want to use the use the 3rd antenna port '0x4'.

Is it the correct way of using external antennas on these types of routers ? Does using it in this way make sure there is no loss of signal via the other ports ? Or must the other two ports have some type of antenna even if it's a different type like the original Omnis ?
Anyone had a similar experience and can help clarifying it ?

Thanks and best regards,
Fernando
