How to install and enable external antennas on your ISP-Customized 4G or 5G router

NOTE: Both external antennas must be installed to ensure the router’s LTE/5G network operates properly, providing optimal performance and stable connectivity.

When working in 4G/5G Router mode, you can install 5G external antennas (not included in the product package) manually to strengthen the 5G signals of your Modem Router.

Before You Start

• Make sure your antennas support the working frequency and band.

• Make sure your antenna's connector type is SMA-MALE.

Follow the steps below to install your external antennas:

1. Remove the antenna cover on the back of your Modem Router. Here, take NX510 v1 as an example.

2. Connect both of your 5G external antennas to the antenna ports.

Note: The image of antennas is for reference only and may differ from actual products. We cannot guarantee the performance while using any third-party 5G external antennas.

3. Access the web management page

Connect your computer or phone to the modem using WiFi or Ethernet cable and visit http://tplinkmodem.net. Or http://192.168.1.1
