5. Attaching External Antennas
Once you have grounded your LWN602WA, you are ready to connect the antennas.
NOTE: It is extremely important to properly ground your device to complete your installation.
The omnidirectional antennas are available from Black Box (contact Black Box Technical Support at 724-746-5500 or
[email protected] for details).
These antennas fit the N-type antenna connectors on the top and bottom of the LWN602WA. The two connectors on the bot
-
tom of the unit are for the 2.4 GHz antennas, and the two on the top of the unit are for the 5-GHz antennas (device and anten
-
nas are labeled).
To connect the antennas, screw them onto the antenna connectors by hand, turning them clockwise until tight.
NOTE: You do not need to use a tool to tighten the antennas or apply self-amalgamating polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tape
around the threads of the connectors to create a waterproof seal.
