Note
Before you install the Cisco 819 ISR on a table, wall, or DIN rail, install the antennas on the front panel.
It is difficult to install the antennas after the router is installed.
To attach the radio antennas to your wireless router, follow these steps:
Step 1
Manually screw the antenna tight to the TNC connectors on the back of the router. (See
Figure 2-19
.)

Step 2
Orient the antennas. For optimum wireless performance, antennas should be generally perpendicular to
each other.
If the router is being mounted on a desk, orient the antennas straight up.
