How to install 5G external antennas on Deco X80-5G and Deco X50-5G

NOTE: Both external antennas must be installed to ensure the Deco'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 Deco.

Before You Start

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

• Make sure your antenna's connector type is correct. (Deco X80-5G: SMA Male; Deco X50-5G V1: RP-SMA. Deco X50 V2: SMA-F)
• Make sure your Deco is working in 4G/5G Router Mode. If not, open the Deco app and go to More > Advanced > Operation Mode to switch the mode.

Follow the steps below to install your external antennas:

1. Remove the antenna cover on the back of your Deco X80-5G/Deco X50-5G.

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