Replacement antennas for XR500

I lost my antennas while moving to my new house. Is it possible to replace them and where can i sell them? I have been lookin around the internet en at the netgear support site but can not find anything.

    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.
