External Antenna
If you want to extend the range of your wireless network, you can connect a 2.4GHz-5GHz,
9dBi (or lower) external antenna to the standard N-type female connector on the Access
Point.
WARNING: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace,
or service this equipment.
WARNING: Before connecting the antenna to the Access Point, make sure that you
disconnect the Access Point from the power source.
1. Disconnect the Access Point from the power source.
2. Remove the black waterproof antenna cover from the antenna connector. Put the
antenna cover in a safe place, in case you need it later.
3. Connect the antenna to the standard N-type female antenna connector.
If the antenna comes with an RF coaxial cable (for example, a patch antenna), do the
following:
a. Physically mount the antenna on your desired location, preferably on the same
supporting mounting structure as the Access Point.
b. Connect the RF coaxial cable to the standard N-type female connector on the
Access Point.
