High Gain 9dBi Omni-Directional Antenna

Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the High Gain Omni-Directional Antenna for N Type Connectors. This guide will help you 
set up and place the Antenna and the access point properly so you can achieve optimal range. The Antenna and 
the Wireless-G Exterior Access Point together provide 9dBi peak gain and should be used together.

Use the instructions in this Guide to further help you connect the 9dBi Omni-Directional Antenna to the 
Wireless-G Exterior Access Point and bridge your different networks. These instructions should be all you need to 
get the most out of the High Gain Omni-Directional Antenna.
