Hi friends. I have good news. I am testing the new upgraded M2BASE enclosure Kit from Mettatec. The M2 Wifi range issue is now resolved: 21 meters radius. They’ve added a clear acrylic window that now allows you to see the M2 while maintaining protection against dust and water.

Glad to hear - thank you.

I wonder if they would retrofit mine that I bought 3 weeks ago?

Great news. Hopefully they will put some up on the store. Mine is sitting on the shelf as I continue to try workarounds.

I am planning on using TP-Link AC750, as an wifi extender powered with a usb power bank attached on the M2 pole, and use a wifi access point of higher range mounted on the vehicle, these ones comes powered with PoE, like TP-Link EAP225 or TP-Link AC750, so in that case will need a car inverter to connect PoE injector, that way I asume the gnns unit ca be moved larger distances kepping connection,
I need that to use a Local NTRIP for drone RTK mapping

I found this one that seems to be a better opcion for a larger range: VONETS VBG1200
