Buffalo Technology WZR-RS-G54 user manual Antenna Installation

Antenna Installation

The WZR-RS-G54 has two internal antennas. One has a vertical orientation while the other has a horizontal orienta- tion. This setup is ideal because it allows for proper antenna polarization with both desktop and notebook style wireless adapter antennas.

However, it may be necessary to increase your range further by installing an external, higher-gain antenna. External antennas come in all shapes and sizes. Antennas also come with different connectors. The WZR-RS-G54 has an ‘MC Connector’ on it. Thus, the antenna must also have an MC connector.

To install the antenna, slide the antenna connector door on the back of the WZR-RS-G54 to the right. This will expose the MC Connector. Attaching the antenna is simple, just in- sert the antenna’s MC Connector into the WZR-RS-G54’s MC Connector and fi rmly push it in until it snaps into place. Once snapped, the antenna’s connector will swivel with ease. It is important not to push the antenna connector in at an angle.

To remove the antenna, pull the antenna connector out. It is

important not to pull the antenna connector out at an angle.
