The xr500 uses RP-SMA connections. any 2.4g/5gh antenna should work to replace them. there's a bunch on amazon. 

Netgear doesn't sell replacement antennas.

shouldn't have said "any". You just need to make sure the plug connector is long enough so you can angle the antenna's. Some come with shorter connections.

I have an Netgear R7500 router. Are these antennas compatable withe the XR500? If so, then I can use that ones.
