Please check the chart and image below to find the correct antennas and their related sockets.
The 5G antennas are marked "MOBILE," and Wi-Fi antennas are engraved "WIFI4-5." There are six embossed numbers on the top and bottom sides. 1-2-3 are for 5G antennas, and 4 & 6 are for Wi-Fi antennas.
5G Antenna
MOBILE
1, 2, 3 on the top side
Wi-Fi Antenna
WIFI4-5
4 and 6 on the bottom side
The antenna sockets are N-K female with a center hole, and antennas have N-K male with a center pin. Align the antennas to their sockets horizontally or vertically to avoid breaking the center pins.
Turn the milled part on the antenna head to tighten or loosen the antennas. Turn clockwise to install the antenna on the socket, and turn counterclockwise to remove it.
Good mobile signal quality is fundamental to getting a stable and fast internet connection over the mobile network. Please choose a location for the 5G router that has a fair 4G/5G signal reception.
Various mobile networks exist: 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G. The chart below shows signal quality ranges for 4G/5G cellular networks. The main factors are RSRP and SINR. Ensure RSRP and SINR have a "Fair" signal level to maintain a stable mobile internet connection. Typically speaking, 3-5 bars indicate fair/good signals and 1-2 bars indicate a poor signal that might sometimes lose connections. No bars mean no cellular signal was detected.
You can run a basic test on a mobile phone. Insert the SIM card into a mobile phone, disable Wi-Fi, and then walk around to check its network type and signal bars. Then, choose a location with strong and stable signal reception.

Definition of Signal Strength
Excellent: Maximum speed and data throughput. Good: Stable connection and good data throughput. Poor: Maintain data connection with restricted throughput. Bad: Connection drop or unable to keep a stable connection.

If the RSRP signal strength falls below -105 dBm, consider upgrading the 5G antennas to directional types to enhance signal reception. If using the router in an RV or boat, please use the omnidirectional antennas.
You can also upgrade the WiFi antennas to directional types to broadcast WiFi signals to specific areas over a longer distance. Learn more about outdoor external antennas.
Ensure your antennas have N-male connectors and cover the correct frequency range. If you connect antennas with extra coaxial cables, use cable lengths shorter than 5 meters to reduce the RF signal attenuation.
