809 Router antenna differences

[Zhomart Asken]

Hi everybody!

I have a quesion regarding 809 Router's antennas. Wanted to know the differences between different types of antennas to choose, like 2 in 1, 3 in 1, Multiband. Which one is suitable for which use case?

Thanks!

Hi

this question might be better suited for wireless section you may get a faster response , on the data sheet for that model it does give further information on what type of antennas are available

HI All,

does anyone know what is the RF transmission power of IR809G?

I am trying to determine its suitability for installation in a hazardous location (Oil&Gas).

cheers.
