External Antenna Options and Patterns
AP 1600/2600 and AP 3600e
The following dual‐band, dual‐resonant antennas are available for use with the AP 1600e*/2600e and the AP 3600e:
AIR‐ANT2524DB‐R – | Dual‐band (Black) dipole | (4 required) – | 2/4 dBi Dipole |
AIR‐ANT2524DW‐R – | Dual‐band (White) dipole | (4 required) – | 2/4 dBi Dipole |
AIR‐ANT2524DG‐R – | Dual‐band (Grey) dipole | (4 required) – | 2/4 dBi Dipole |
AIR‐ANT2524V4C‐R – | Dual‐band Omni‐directional | (1 required) – | 2/4 dBi Ceiling mount Omni use |
AIR‐ANT2544V4M‐R – | Dual‐band Omni‐directional | (1 required) – | 4/4 dBi Wall mount Omni use |
AIR‐ANT2566P4W‐R – | Dual band directional | (1 required) – | 6 dBi Patch wall mount use |
*The AP 1600 requires only three dipole antennas, not four. For ceiling, wall or patch mounts, simply leave the fourth antenna lead unused.
Do not use single‐band antennas unless you choose to disable the other radio band in the AP.

The two most popular external antennas for the AP 3600e are the AIR‐ANT2524Dx‐R dual‐band dipole antenna (see Figures 32 and 33) and the AIR‐ANT2566P4W‐R dual‐band patch antenna (see Figures 34 and 35). Other antennas include the AIR‐ANT2524V4C‐R (see Figures 36 and 37) and the AIR‐ ANT2544V4M‐R (see Figures 38 and 39).
