Hi Christoph,

I Have tried to change to Mode 2, Radio 1 - 2.4/5 GHz Sensor, Radio 2 - 5 GHz WLAN
antenna-id external group-1 ml-2452-pna7-01r
antenna-id external group-2 ml-2452-apa2-01

I have tried several antenas, But ..... it doesn't work.

I need a Mesh Connex using the Radio 2  5Ghz and physical radio ports 5 and 6 .

Hello Valter,

This issue may lie elsewhere, we'll need visibility into your config.

If testing in your lab please make sure that the APs are at least a few feet apart and that the radio power is turned all the way down to 1db.

Hi Christoph, 

The antenas are apart a 15 metters in a remote LAB.

If I disconnect the Antenas 1 and 2 the MESH it doesn't see the neighors.

The system:\dataplane\wireless\radio\radio2-proximity  is clean (after reboot).

Hello Valter,

What would you like to know about 2 antenna connectors?

I've updated the above article and included the AP schematic: https://extremeportal.force.com/ExtrArticleDetail?an=000078786

If using only 2 antennas on the 5GHz radio you'll need to configure radio 2 antenna-mode to match. 

To know which connectors to use please run the following CLI commands when in radio 2 configs:

#antenna-mode ?

This will tell you what mode to use and which connectors to use. 

Best regards,
