Replacement T-Link Antennas Not Working On 7800N
Posted: Fri Jan 23, 2015 9:34 pm
Hi all,
Recently bought a 7800N and I've been very happy with it. I decided to upgrade the stock antenna's with the 8dbi T-Link onmi antennas (TL-ANT2408CL) and as soon as I did it kills the connection. By this I mean the phone is still connected via WIFI but is no longer able to access any websites. I have tested the unit by putting back the original antennas and it works fine.
So instead I tried it with 1 of the T-Link antennas and 2 stock Billion ones and it works without any issues. Soon as introduce another T-Link antenna (2 out of 3) the connection speed drops by half (tested a few times to ensure it wasn't an ISP issue) when I bring in the third T-Link attends it kills it altogether. Any idea why this is occurring?
Also when I forget the network and attempt to connect back to the router I'm unable to as it says the password is incorrect. This is only fixed when I plug in an original Billion antenna and it then accepts the password.
I find it unlikely that I have 3 faulty antennas, but it does seem strange.
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks
Tim
