We’d never recommend the use of an “extender”-type device. Better to just engineer it right the first time. While there are optional antennas, as you suggest, We’d not plan to use them from the start unless there was a compelling need. You may be well-served to look up a Peplink Partner in your area to help with this project if you are unfamiliar with planning and executing such projects.

Professionally we do not recommend using any Wi-Fi Extenders of any brand, they are an absolute last resort in our book as we see more issues with them than they solve. You are better to use a more suitable (or additional) Pepwave WAP with your existing solution than an extender. If you must use a Wi-Fi Extender, then use an extender with the same chip set as the manufacture (almost impossible to tell who is using what) or from the manufacture of your sources WAP such as in this situation the Pepwave Device Connector.

We recommend that you contact your local Peplink Partner for guidance on the right Pepwae WAP or Device Connector for your environment.
Happy to Help,
Marcus
