EE5G Router 2022 External Antenna Configuration

mcflow

1. The EE 5G router has 4 ports in the back. I believe it to be a white labelled Zyxel NR5103.

 

2. The external antenna I am trying to connect is a Poynting 4x4 Omni directional. Cables are labelled Cell 1 Main, Cell 1 Aux/Div, Cell 2 Main, Cell 2 Aux/Div (4 cables with TS9 male adapters).

 

Q: What is the correct cable to router port mapping for optimal results?

@mcflow  as follows is the correct order for the Poynting 4x4 Mimo Antenna and your Router -

 

Pair 1

Router Port 1 - Cell 1 Main

Router Port 2 - Cell 1 Aux/Div

Pair 2

Router Port 3 - Cell 2 Main

Router Port 4 - Cell 2 Aux/Div

Sorry to ask a silly question but is port 1 the highest antenna port on the router?
