Default N Connector to a (adaptor)?

Just getting back into wifi after several years. I have two outdoor antennas that I would like to use one of them being a old WinnComm WRO2400-125 12.5 dbi. The other is a smaller antenna (OD24-12 12dbi)

I probaly need to use the WinnComm because I have about 15ft Coax with N-Connectors already in place.

Question: If I grab some wifi and bring it into the antenna from a outside source once I get it inside what would be needed?

I,m thinking I will have to convert using a adaptor from a N-Male to (whatever)...

What hardware is needed? I am sure my linksys wifi router wont work with this.. Going to study up and see what I can learn...

Thanks

I found the N-Male to RP-TNC connector but, after reading I am thinking I need a access point to capture the wireless and bring it inside and then to my router...? This is more a question than a statement.

you do not want to use a indoor AP with a outdoor antenna anymore.

Since you installed your system they started making low cost outdoor AP's that can be mounted next to the antenna for the least amount of cable loss.

check out the engenius eoc2611p it has a SMA connector

and here is the SMA to N male pigtail to connect to your antenna
