I'm thinking of buying a Cisco WAP200-EU, but I'm confused by the presence of two external antennas. Before that, there was a D-Link AP2100, there was only one antenna, it was twisted and the cable from the antenna on the roof was screwed in, but what about that? the second antenna will not interfere with the work?
And can anyone advise a normal, stable access point?

I advise you to read about MIMO technology, which is immediately implied if the device has more than one antenna. Most often, this technology is used to increase the speed (for example, in the 802.11n standard), or to increase the quality of reception or transmission. The specified tsiska supports the G standard, respectively the second variant. So I don't think it will get any worse. Now, if we take an access point of the N standard and a bunch of antennas, then it’s more difficult to say how such a physical diversity of antennas will show itself, but in any case, having played with the operating modes (most likely, MIMO modes will switch along with them) it will be possible to solve possible problems.
