@SujitKrSahoo 

 

How about the original antennas on the MR600? Are they behaving the same?

@Kevin_Z Yes with stock antenna same result. If I connect both stock antenna everything is fine. If I only connect one stock antenna to left side it is not working. But if I coonect one stack antenna to right side then it is working fine.

The reason it will not work is because it defaults to Non-MIMO mode if only 1 antenna is connected (AUX) but it will work in Non-MIMO mode if the (Main) antenna is connected. MIMO mode requires that both antennas are connected.

@vk3hjq Need your suggestion should I connect both external antenna. Does it help gaining signal quality?
