You cannot connect external antenna to AR300M.

But you can purchase external antenna version of AR300M directly.

Thanks, just what I thought, do they support higher dBi aerials, was looking at a 2.4 ghz 15 dBi?
What about GL.iNet Gl-Ar150-ext as this has an external aerial, could this be substituted and this is about 1/2 price of the 300M in the UK?
Thanks for your help

You can connect high gain antenna.

Note, never operate the antenna while the router is powered on.
