Antenna

The WHR-HP-G54’s external antenna will usually give the best performance if oriented to point straight up. If your AirStation is resting on its side, use the antenna’s swivel and twist function to orient it pointed upward.

In some environments it’s desirable to further increase range by installing an external, higher-gain antenna. External antennas come in all shapes and sizes. Antennas also come with different connectors. The WHR-HP-G54 has an RP-SMAconnector on it. If your antenna has a different kind of connector, you’ll need an adaptor.

To install a different antenna, unscrew the stock antenna from the RP-SMA connector on top of the AirStation, and screw on the connector or adaptor from your new antenna.
