Antenna diversity 

The RT20xx Series router has an AUX connector for connection of a second antenna to 
allow for antenna diversity. Antenna diversity helps improve the quality and reliability of 
a wireless link by mitigating problems associated with multipath distortion.  

Multipath distortion is a form of RF interference that occurs when a radio signal has more 
than one path between the receiver and the transmitter. It commonly occurs when there 
is no clear line of sight between the transmitter and receiver and instead the signal is 
reflected off hard surfaces such as shelves, ceilings and walls.

Connecting the power supply 

1.

 

Plug the power cable into an electrical socket suitable for a DC12V/1A power 
supply. 

2.

 

The router initialises. The Power LED lights green, the CONFIG LED flashes, and 
all the LEDs temporarily light in sequence. Then the router activates.
