Hi,
I made the 5dbi TP-link antenna mod for the wireless extender but without realizing I had the repeater powered on without screwing the antenna on. To my knowledge its really bad to have a RF transmitter powered on without an antenna screwed in. Since the extender has two built in antennas, one of them was still connected though, so do you know if that would prevent any damage. I am not sure if its 2 built antennas connected to one source or 2 antennas connected to two different sources. I am unsure if not screwing the external tp-link antenna would cause partial damage to the repeater. I am not getting quite the results I was expecting with this mod - getting about 400-450 m max distance with some some hiccups on the video feed after 300-350 m (320x240 30fps)
