This is a very old AirPort unit. It does not offer any of the modern transmission security (only WEP which is very easy to beat!) In addition its 802.11b compliant only so its real sllloooowww.

Best bet is to find a home for it on a dusty shelf and get a newer WiFi unit. In fact Apple just announced its getting out of the WiFi router market! Apple exits Wi-Fi game, AirPort routers discontinued after stock sells out.

So you might find a deal on new one! Or, you might want to look at one of the other units which offer 802.11ac services.

An der Antenne ist eine 2 m lange Koaxialleitung dran, Mit dem entsprechenden Stecker, der in die Airport reinpasst.

Aus eigener Erfahrung weiß ich, dass sie wirklich was bringt.

English: A 2 m long coaxial line is attached to the antenna, with the corresponding plug that fits into the airport.

I know from my own experience that it really helps.

They had at one point offered an antenna extender. It really didn't offer that much a better signal. I haven't seen one of the antennas in years! You could just find an older 802.11b antenna and plug it in if you can find one.

I'm sure the antenna is fine, but, as usual, apple-only socket.

Hint - 10" of of bare silvered wire works !

I’m sorry I didn’t see this question sooner. The correct cable is RF coax with RP-SMA female to MCX male connectors. I somehow figured this out and then found one on Amazon in September 2018, just six months after you posted. The product page was removed since then.

Oh, hang on… I found the new product page. It’s still $5.80 5 1/2 years later! Perhaps the only product not affected by inflation. It’s here: https://www.amazon.com/DHT-Electronics-c...
