Replacing the antenna with high gain antenna

You can also replace one of the antennas with a higher gain TRENDnet antenna (4dBi Indoor Omni Directional, 6dBi Indoor Patch Directional, or 14dBi Outdoor Directional). At default, both antennas are transmitting/receiving data. When installing the high gain antenna, you can choose to install it on either the left or right antenna position. After that, go to the Access Point's configuration page, select "Advanced Settings", and at the bottom of the page, select the desired antenna position.
