1.Actual data rate is highly dependent on your wireless environment.

2.The antennas require some minor installation. They must be screwed onto the RP-TNC antenna connectors on the I/O side of the chassis. See the following document on Cisco.com for feature information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/wireless/hardware/notes/antdip.html

Supported Cisco Radio Antennas

The Cisco 891, Cisco 892, and Cisco 892F come with three removable dipole antennas that can be replaced using the Cisco approved antenna extenders listed in Table 1-36.

Note Cisco supports only the antennas listed in Table 1-36with the Cisco 890 series dual-band radio module.

Cisco Part Number		Antenna Type	Maximum Gain	Description
AIR-ANTM2050D-R		Omnidirectional	2.0 dBi at 2.4 GHz	This is the default antenna. It is a swivel-mount
			5.0 dBi at 5 GHz	dipole dual-band blade antenna. For more
				information, see Cisco Multiband Swivel-Mount
				Dipole Antenna (AIR-ANTM2050D-R).
AIR-ANTM4050V-R		Omnidirectional	4.0 dBi at 2.4 GHz	Ceiling-mount dual-band antenna. This antenna
			5.0 dBi at 5 GHz	has a clip that allows it to be mounted on a
				drop-ceiling cross member. For more information,
				see Cisco Multiband Diversity Omnidirectional
				Ceiling-Mount Antenna.
AIR_ANTM5560P-R		Patch	5.5 dBi at 2.4 GHz	Wall-mount dual-band antenna. For more
			6.0 dBi at 5 GHz	information, see Cisco Multiband Wall-Mount,
				Corner-Mount, or Mast-Mount Antenna.
