Router + outdoor TV antenna

I have an external Yagi (basically) antenna and i want to attach that
for my Linksys WRT54G and i want to know if there is an adapter to
change from the tiny coax connection on the router to a normal coax
cable so i can more easily facilitate this.

What is the frequency of the antenna, and does it match the frequency of
your linksys?

i have no idea. the antenna was installed before i moved in...

More than likely the Yagi antenna is not in the range of your Linksys, so it
would not work anyway. Is there any labels on the antenna that give a
manufacture and model number, if not the frequency.

i'll have to check, it's currently a quarter after midnight where i
live and i doubt i'm going to climb up on a telephone pole right now.
but i will definitely check it out in the morning. i'd assume the
average output for my router to be within the 2.4~ish GHz range?

Yes, I think that sounds right for your router, though there is some 5ghz
stuff out there.
And Radio shack or a local two way radio shop (Motorola dealer) should be
able to help you out with any adapters needed if the antenna does match your
router frequency.

that's part of the problem, i work at radio shack and i have had
difficulty finding a suitable adapter. i've spoken to my boss about it
but he's a total idiot even though he previously owned a computer shop
as well, so i don't really have any help there...

I want to say it is an rp-tnc connector
here is a link to a pigtail adapter with an N female on the other end.
Look for the InPath RP-TNC male to N female a little down the page

Check out this link below. Does the antenna look similar to these.
http://www.wlanantennas.com/yagi_antennas.htm

If you find out that the antenna on your building was used for an old base
station in the UHF band, the above link may help achieve what you want to
do.
But I thought Radio Shack carried 2.4ghz Yagi antennas.

Hi,
Don't feed the troll.
