Problem with bluetooth range and No Wifi5G ..SOLVED..!

gtkingpro.ac2n

After contacting support-box@bee-link.com  I made a test of the range of the Bluetooth signal by having previously removed the metal underside of the gt-king pro, and although the range is greatly improved, the beelink support told me that the completely metal case disturbed the bluetooth signal ... But still no wifi5G ... Anyway this suggests that it will be useful to install antennas external to the box ... I still have not received the information about the type of connection used for the antennas ..?

That's it, thank you support-box@bee-link.com
If you want to use 5G wifi you must configure your router's wifi channel ...
My router was configured wifi5g in automatic channel, on channel 112, the gt-king pro could not see anything ...
I have configured the wifi5g channel on channel 48 and yes finally the gt-king pro sees my wifi5g network ..

Another confirmation from support-box@bee-link.com for the connection used for the antennas, the first generation of IPEX connections must be used, the diameter is 2.0

@JereyW Wow nice job my friend, I just received my antennas and just for the test I connected the wifi + BT antenna and I passed the cable through the hole of the RS232 plug having previously removed one of the screws. the RS232 plug. And thus verdict a significant improvement of the range of the Bluetooth signal thanks to the addition of an external antenna.
To all who wish to take full advantage of bluetooth on the GT-King Pro, you must install DIY external antennas ..!

great solution,
I think Beelink must add external antennas to the next releases.

I'm delighted, I can finally fully use my XboxOne game controller with bluetooth, no need for a cable ...
However, the Bluetooth range is still not exceptional, but about 3 or 4 meters, further on I lose the signal a little and therefore to play it's not great, it's much better than before but during my tests with the original antennas and the open box (without the bottom cover ..) I had roughly the same results, I hope a little better with the external antennas sold with a gain of 8dBi ...
@JereyW what does it look like on your side with his new antennas?
