I currently use Wifi bridge to connect 2 building with a distance of 50 meters.
This bridge is made with OpenWRT on obsolete TP-Link routers with external antennas connected with SMA connector.
I need to replace theses routers, but I cannnot find routers with SMA connectors compatible with OpenWRT.
For example, I've just order TPLink Archer C7, but the external antennas are fixe. I cannot replace them with SMA Antennas.
E.g. ubiquiti and tp-link have some OpenWrt supported outdoor devices with integrated directional antennas.
Just replacing antennas on modern (wifi5+) APs rarely brings good results, as you break MIMO/ Mu-MIMO and other inherent expectations (and certification as well).
