How to physically attach Linksys high-gain antenna to Linksys router

I purchased two Linksys HGA7S high-gain antennas to replace the
standard ones on my Linksys WRT54G router. Although I can unscrew the
OEM antennas, I can't figure out how to attach the replacements. The
terminating connector on the new one is the same size as the matching
one on the router so one doesn't fit into the other.Otherwise
everything else looks the same. Can anyone help? Thought this would be
simple; just don't want to break anything.
Thanks for any help.

I think you bought the wrong flavor. The HGA7T is the replacement for the
standard antenna on the WRT54G; at least, that's what I used on mine.

From a posting on the Linksys Community Forums:

"Linksys HGA7T are compatible and commonly use for Linksys routers and
access points like WRT54GS, WRT54G, WAP54G, BEFW11S4, WAP11 and it has
an optional stand, AS2TNC.

On the other hand HGA7S (1 piece antenna) are compatible with wireless
adapters and wireless bridge like WMP54G, WMP54GS, WET54G, WET54GS5
and also compatible with WRV54G. It has an optional stand, AS1SMA."
