Anyone Else using a Raspberry Pi 400?

Nice and clean. I like it. Unfortunately, I'm using a Pi400. so I'm limited in that regard. I've also found that most GPIO boards designed for the Pi4 do not work very well with the Pi400. You end of with the big "thing" hanging off the back of the Pi400. I'll probably pick up a Pi4 when they become more readily available again.

See my HS4 Pi4, it is an Wi-Fi AP, it is HS4 controller, it is also a VPN server, NTP server and UniFi controller. The short antenna is for Wi-Fi, only 2.75cm, the tall one is Z-Wave antenna for 850MHz-950MHz.

Thanks. I think I'll go with an external USB dongle if the internal antenna doesn't cut it.

Ah. Makes sense. Do you have any links to YT videos? I can't find anything on doing the mod on the Pi400, only the Pi4.

TBH, I'd probably just use an external USB WiFi adapter with an antenna if it became a problem. It looks like the buster release has drivers for Realtek chips which are pretty common in external WiFi dongles.

I have a UniFi network and for things like this, I force the device to a specific band and lock it to an AP. Any type of device with a weak WiFi signal can really mess with networks. The APs have a tendency to pass them around, hoping to get them better performance.

I am running a Pi4 using wifi with no issues... as the article says maybe it is more a router issue? I have an Orbi router and it tends to stick you on 5 if it can and doesn't like to move you to 2.4... which is an issue for my TV which needs the 2.4 for bandwidth.
