We have a selection of different length Ethernet cable available here. This device is suitable for outdoor use in campgrounds and marinas.
Some technical knowledge of access points is required to configure this device.
The Tube 2HQ does not include an integrated antenna. It has an N-male antenna connector that can be used with any N-connector 2.4 GHz antenna. We carry compatible antennas and extension cables.
