 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.
