UNO R4 with external WIFI antenna

Hi,
Does any of the new generations of Arduino support an external WIFI antenna? I need to place the antenna about 6 m from the main board, to get it out in the open, so I imagine a cable between the antenna and the board.

Best regards
Peter

At WiFi frequencies 6m is a very very long cable. There will be tremendous losses there. You may not get much signal out of it.

Hi @peterbr.

Yes, several do:

As for their suitability for your specific application, I can't say because I am not knowledgeable in the subject of radio antennas.
