Get to Know the Hardware Features
External Antenna Connectors
The ZoneFlex 7731 Wireless Bridge includes one purpose designed internal directional
antenna. If you want to extend the range of your wireless network, you can connect an
external high gain 5GHz antenna to the two standard N-type external antenna connectors
on the top panel of the Wireless Bridge. The antenna must have a gain of less than 23dBi
to comply with FCC and CE regulations. For more information, refer to
“Mounting and
Connecting the External Antenna (Optional)” on page 56.
