I looked on the Linksys website and didn't find this info, so maybe somebody here know the answers....

What is the size of the 12VDC power connector for the WRT54GL?  I'd like to make some Powerpole cables and want to know what size of connector to buy.

Also, what kind of rf connectors does one use when the rabbit ears are removed and you connect an external antenna?

There's some discussion here:

http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/hsmm-mesh-forums/view-postlist/forum-344/topic-344-wrt54g-power-plug-dimensions.html

It seems to be a "Type M 5.5x2.1mm barrel connector".

The antenna connector is called "RP-TNC" or Reverse Polarity TNC.

Technically, the antenna has the female connector, since the center connector is female, but it seems most people mislabel it as "male."  Always get a picture or diagram of what you're buying.   I've seen it listed both ways. 

Check this guy out: http://stores.ebay.com/daveshobbyshop/

He has proven to be a one stop shop for different coax adaptors and pigtails relevant to WIFI hacking with a better selection and lower prices than my friendly neighborhood Gigaparts store.

I have equipment that uses RP-TNC, RP-SMA, SMA, BNC, and Type N and so far, all the adaptors I have needed to connect things up he has in stock. Fast shipping too!
