I need to connect my WRT54GL to an external antenna.

Help me connect them!

The Lead attached to the antenna looks like this: http://imgur.com/Q32xn.jpg

The socket attached to the WRT54GL looks like this: http://imgur.com/cHMbC.jpg

I need to connect the two but I've now idea about the names of the two coax sockets so I'm unable to find anything to connect the two.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's hard to tell from those. It looks like the router uses a reversed TNC maybe. The antenna looks like N? It's hard to know for sure. It depends on what model the antenna is and stuff.

It's called "RP-TNC" ... they also have RP-SMA.
