Installing a WiFi antenna (optional)
WiFi antenna options
Note: We recommend an Ethernet connection over a
WiFi connection.
Two types of WiFi antenna kits are available for purchase: 26 cm
(dipole, best performance) or 3 m (when you need to install the
wire further away from the Door Station for a better WiFi signal).
• Antenna Kit—WiFi/ZigBee 2.4 GHz, 26 cm (C4-AK-26cm,
sold separately). Recommended for walls that do not have
thick concrete or metal. See Figure 9 and "WiFi antenna kit
installation" for details.

• Antenna Kit—WiFi/ZigBee 2.4 GHz, 3 m (C4-AK-3M, sold
separately). Extend the range when walls have thick concrete
or metal. See Figure 10 and "WiFi antenna kit installation" for
details.

wall of the back box and through the wall as needed (see
