so I get a high dbi antenna for long range in a high place, but also a low dbi one to service everyone in the area? or that’s too much and not needed?

    not sure, I put a 9dbi antenna on top of a 3 storey building, and in theory I shouldn’t be able to get a signal underneath it. yet I do get good signal.

    I genuinely have to idea what I’m doing, but I’m learning

      Yeah you don’t need short and long range typically. Maybe if it was directional you would need a 2nd one.
