Antenna choice in repeater mode

Hello,

I need to repeat a signal between a big wall.

AP1-< ~ >-AP2-< ~ >-WGB1

AP1 is root

AP2 is repeater

I know that using a splitter is not recommended in AP2. So on AP2 can I use an directionnal antenna directly attached to Right connector and a second directionnal antenna to Left connector ?

The short answer, yes, as long as you have RP/TNC connectors on your AP.

I think you are wrong:

The two directionnal antennas cover two different zone, the diversity feature must be set for the two connectors, what happen to one side when the over is communicating ?
