connecting a yagi directional antenna

Is there a way to connect a yagi directional antenna cable directly to the HT2000W modem? Looks like a LAN connector is the obvious option on the modem but is there an adapter that will connect the LA...

    If you mean using a yagi to beam the wifi, I'm pretty certain you can't do that with this modem. You have to use the internal omnidirectional antenna, which is matched to the wifi chip, or whatever setup you have using an external router.

Ah, okay.  I see what you're saying, and I'm relatively sure you can't, but I'll defer to someone who's better informed about this kind of thing.  Maybe MarkJFine or Michael57, or even the reps themselves when they get back from the weekend.

    That's pretty much what I figured, but thought it was worth asking of people who know more than me. I'll continue using the router with yagi attached. Thanks for your replies.
