antenna installation on AX4300
The manual for the AX4300 that I bought at Costco states, "Make sure to match the labels on the antennas with the labels on the router. The
antennas must be attached to the correct antenna post on the router." I see no labels on either the antennas or the router. Am I missing something?

There should be blue and pink labels on the router plastic next to the antenna ports. The antennas themselves have blue or pink labels also. Pretty hard to miss, something wrong if they aren't there.
- Thanks for the reply. Definitely no labels on either the router nor the antennas. It appears to be working (although I had some issues while setting it up - the 2.4 band didn't work, but the 5.0 band did. It somehow resolved itself and now both are working). I put a support ticket in to see if it matters which antenna goes where on the router.
I just purchased the AX4300 ( Model RAX45) from Costco and none of the antenna or router was labelled. There should have been labels stating "Rear" or "Side". Is there a sequence or order to screw in the antennas ( 4)? How can you tell them apart, they look the same
I bought this same router recently and there are no lables anywhere. Of course, it won't update to the latest firmware either so I may end up taking it back.
They did away with the labels and you can install any of the antennas in any port.
I got rid of it a long time ago, wasn't a very good router at all. I'm done with Netgear.
