| Installation Guide

1. Before connecting the antennas, identify which of your antennas are 2.4 GHz and which are 5 GHz. On 

the AP-175, the 2.4 GHz antennas must be installed the R1 radio interfaces and the 5.0 GHz must be 
installed on the R0 radio interfaces. 

2. After identifying which antennas will go where, install them by placing the antenna connector over the 

corresponding connector and the AP and turning the connector clockwise until hand tight. Repeat this 
process for each antenna.

3. Place the included metal weatherproof caps over any unused antenna interfaces by turning them 

clockwise until hand tight.

Weatherproofing your antenna and/or cable connections on your outdoor AP is essential to reliability and 
longevity of your product. This process prevents water from entering the AP or antennas through the 
connectors. 

A good weatherproofing job consists of three wrappings: 

1. electrical tape 

2. butyl rubber

3. electrical tape

The first wrapping of tape should be at least two layers, followed by a single wrap of butyl rubber, and four-
layer wrap of electrical tape. This provides good protection from water, heat, and other potential hazards 
that could damage your AP or antennas. 

Additionally, wrap your connections such that water is always directed down and away from connections.

The following sections provide guidance on weatherproofing directly connected antennas (

cable connections (

). The same materials are needed for weatherproofing both types of 

connections but the procedure is slightly different. For weatherproofing directly connected antennas, see
