We have a Deeper DP4H13S10 sonar, and the goal is to increase its signal range.
The original Deeper Range Extender costs about €195.
How can we solve this using what we already have? And even make it better?
It’s very simple.

Maple Wireless 2.4G 9dBi Patch €15.
MikroTik | hAP lite ~ €10 or rather, free.

You just need to solder a U.FL connector to connect an external antenna.
There is even a place on the board for this.

We don’t need to take the router configuration into account; it’s pretty simple.
