Antenna Installation

WatchGuard dual band omnidirectional dipole antennas (WG9004) are sold separately in packs of two
antennas.
The device must have antennas connected for full range and functionality.
The access point requires a total of six antennas (two antennas for each radio band, and two antennas for
the dual band scanning radio).
On the top of the access point, there are two N-type connectors for the 2.4/5 GHz dual-band radios, and
one connector for the scanning radio.
On the bottom of the access point , there are two N-type connectors for the 5 GHz radios, and one
connector for the scanning radio.
Insert the antennas into the connectors for each radio and turn clockwise to tighten.
You can use WatchGuard omnidirectional antennas or other third-party omnidirectional and directional
antennas based on your deployment requirements. If you use other third-party antenna types, you are
responsible for verifying compliance with regional-based regulations based on these peak gain values.
