I just purchased the NETGEAR Nighthawk AX6/AX2700 Wi-Fi cable modem router (Model number CAX30) that I can’t hook up yet because I need to purchase adapters that will link it to an external antenna to place outside my steel building for good connection. The external antenna uses an SMA Jack (which is much smaller than what’s on the Nighthawk) but I cannot find anywhere what type of coaxial connection the nighthawk has in order to buy the adapter for it. I may do a coaxial faceplate too which Im assuming is the same type/ name of the connector on the NETGEAR device. Can someone help me clarify the label of it please?
The coax connection on the back of your CAX30 is designed for connection to a cable internet service provider network. It is not suitable for connection to an antenna.
