You can run with a single antenna, but follow your model’s guide for which port to use. If the router is designed for MIMO, using only one port may reduce overall performance, so check the official guidance for your exact model and antenna combination. Also keep cables and connectors from being strained and avoid bending right at the connector. If you plan to use multiple antennas, use matched antennas and keep coax lengths similar to maintain balance. Route cables to minimize vibration and shielding issues, and terminate unused ports as the manual prescribes to prevent moisture ingress or interference. For model-specific port mapping and best-practice configuration, Comset can advise on the right setup.
