Title: Rev2 antenna not working
Post by: ruben on Feb 08, 2025, 02:27 AM
Hello, I am checking a gen2 antenna that the router does not detect the antenna and the power adapter does not turn on the white LED, I have checked the 8 wires end to end and they give continuity.

I'm going to take off the sheet metal, I've seen the video that explains it very well and I'll show some photos tomorrow, thanks.

Hello. Could you check (or take a photo) the Dishy connector on the power supply? This connector tends to wear out. Ensure all the connector pins are in a good "springy" state.

Hello, I have taken a photo of the power supply connector but it seems to be fine, the only thing is that if I put the router in gray it does not turn on, in white it turns on. I have checked the green antenna cable pin to pin and it is fine, and I have opened the antenna but I can't find any signs of failure. I have put the green antenna cable in the mouth of the white source and the LED does not light up either.
