I have a WRT54GL and a Bolo Brands N Wireless 18dbi High Gain Antenna.

Where can I obtain a connector-adaptor to connect the antenna to the router?

Thanks. ND9L

I have some RP TNC crimp connectors and some RP TNC to BNC pigtails ordered through aliexpress.com . The prices are reasonable, but the delivery time might be a bit long. You probably need pigtails TNC to SMA. I'm sure you can find closer suppliers. Try Google. Just be sure you get the RP (reverse polarity) or standard and the sex of the connectors right.The TNCs for the WRT are RP male, and the antenna is probably RP male SMA, so the adapter or pigtail should be to RP female SMA. The people who made the computer hardware use RP connectors should be shot, beaten, then severely punished. 73, Graham ZL3GSL

Thanks for the info Graham. "The TNCs for the WRT are RP male, and the antenna is probably RP male SMA" So I should order: RP female SMA on one end of the adaptor (connects to the antenna) and the other end of the adaptor RP female TNC(connects to the WRT). Do I have this right? 73 Dick ND9l

No. The standard antenna has an RP MALE TNC connector. You need a male RP TNC. I ahve emailed you. 73, Graham

I usually get my adaptors off of eBay. You need an RP-TNC male to RP-SMA female adaptor. That is usually what I put in the search box. BTW hello from over in Appleton, WI. 73' Rodney, kd0ebt
