1.2.2 Antenna

Connect the supplied 2dBi omni antenna to the SMA connector on the side of the ZyXEL
Device. Alternatively, use a higher-powered antenna with a female SMA connector (not
supplied) for improved signal reception.
The ZyXEL Device is equipped with an internal 6dBi directional patch antenna. If your signal
strength is poor (use the SIGNAL LEDs to gauge received signal strength) orient the front of
the ZyXEL Device (the side with the LEDs) towards the base station. If you do not know the
location of the base station, experiment with moving the ZyXEL Device while observing the
SIGNAL LEDs.
