You need an RP-TNC connector, that's all. RP-TNC to N cables are easy to find, if not a bit pricey. Try a web search. Others should be available too.

In theory they're hard to find, but reality is a little different. Until the Internet, Google, and eBay became ubiquitous something around a decade ago now, I think the FCC's approach there ("use hard-to-find connectors") worked -- but it certainly won't ever again. :-)
