Note: On access points with two antennas, if you are only replacing one antenna, be sure
to replace the primary antenna and do not remove the secondary antenna.
6.
If connecting 2 ANT24D18v2 antennas: repeat step 2 to 5 for the second antenna and
connect it the secondary port. If the wireless device supports transmit/receive on both
ports, the 2 antennas can be used to cover 2 separate or partial overlapping WLAN areas.
For instance the 2 ANT24D18v2 could be oriented at 90 degrees and positioned 50 feet
away and using the WG302 access point. The 2 antennas can also be used to provide
spatial diversity.
If the wireless device transmits only with the primary antenna port, the 2 ANT24D18v2
antennas can be used only for spatial diversity.
Spatial diversity: place the 2 antennas 3 to 9 feet away and oriented toward the same direction.

After attaching your new 14 dBi antenna(s), reconnect your wireless device to the network
and turn it on.
