| In most - if not in all - cases, you have one or several [[wp>Hirose U.FL]] male connectors on the [[wp>Printed circuit board|PCB]], then a pigtail (patch cable for RF-signals) and then a [[wp>RF connector]] connected to the casing. The antenna is screwed on to that. | In most - if not in all - cases, you have one or several [[wp>Hirose U.FL]] male connectors on the [[wp>Printed circuit board|PCB]], then a pigtail (patch cable for RF-signals) and then a [[wp>RF connector]] connected to the casing.

| | ===== Devices ===== |
| | This is a list of all routers in the OpenWrt wiki with removable or detachable antennas. |
| | Common wireless connectors include RP-SMA (male and female), RP-TNC (male and female). |
| | Less common are N-female and N-male antenna connectors. |
| | You may also see MC (Lucent) male or female connectors, especially on card-based wifi devices. |
