XR500 antennas
Hi all. Just bought a XR500, which has 4 antennas. 2 on the back, both marked “1”, and antenna marked “2” on the left and “3” on the right. The number ”3” antenna does not fit into the right slot (...
The numbers should match up so odd that they don't. However as far as I am aware they are all the same length/have the same function so in theory it shouldn't matter too much which one they're connected to.
- Thanks a lot for the quick reply.
I agree. The external dimensions are the same of all 4 antennas.
But if it is just a matter of design, or actually the antenna inside the plastic protection on the antenna, that’s what I’m most curious about...- I think the antennas were just misnamed on your router for some reason, won't affect performance in any way
