Note: On access points with two antennas, if you are only replacing one antenna, be sure to replace the primary antenna and do not remove the secondary antenna.
6.If connecting 2 ANT24D18 antennas: repeat step 2 to 5 for the second antenna and connect it the secondary port. If the wireless device supports transmit/receive on both ports, the 2 antennas can be used to cover 2 separate or partial overlapping WLAN areas. For instance the 2 ANT24D18 could be oriented at 90 degrees and positioned 50 feet away and using the WG302 access point. The 2 antennas can also be used to provide spatial diversity.
If the wireless device transmits only with the primary antenna port, the 2 ANT24D18 antennas can be used only for spatial diversity.
Spatial diversity: place the 2 antennas 3 to 9 feet away and oriented toward the same direction.
7.After attaching your new 18 dBi antenna(s), reconnect your wireless device to the network and turn it on.
Connecting the Antenna for an Indoor Installation
1.Turn off your wireless unit.
2.Connect the reverse N/SMA adapter to the antenna.

4.Locate the primary detachable antenna of the wireless device. Remove the antenna and connect the other end of the NETGEAR cable
this port.
Note: On access points with two antennas, if you are only replacing one antenna, be sure to replace the primary antenna and do not remove the secondary antenna.
5.If connecting 2 ANT24D18 antennas: repeat step 2 to 4 for the second antenna and connect it the secondary port. If the wireless device supports transmit/receive on both ports, the 2 antennas can be used to cover 2 separate or partial overlapping WLAN areas. For instance the 2 ANT24D18 antennas could be oriented at 90 degrees and positioned 50 feet away and using the WG302 access point. The 2 antennas can also be used to provide spatial diversity.
If the wireless device transmits only with the primary antenna port, the 2 ANT24D18 antennas can be used only for spatial diversity.
Spatial diversity: place the 2 antennas 3 to 9 feet away and oriented toward the same direction.
6.After attaching your new 18 dBi antenna(s), reconnect your wireless device to the network and turn it on. The provided 2m cable and lightning arrestor should not have been used.
