Hello I'm looking to upgrade a laptop's wifi card, the current card has two antennas (Black and white). I want to add an "N" Card It has 3 Antenna Connector's. Is this just for better reception? Should I just add A Third Wire? Will that be ok? Thank you
1. 2 vs. 3, it really doesn't mater. 'n' wireless cards use a third antenna for antenna diversity. i.e. they take a look at the signals and ignore the antenna with the worst signal. So they don't actually use 3 antennas. Should I just add A Third Wire? 2. You can't unless your card supports it. Will that be ok? 3. Adding a third antenna? I don't see how you would do it if the card doesn't support it.
Thank you I didn't Know that's how they worked. To clear things up: My card right now has two antennas. The card I'm buying Takes three antennas. I'm Replacing the top of my PC and front Benzal So I might as well just Buy and add a third antenna while it's open. I'm guessing the wire's are the same I Don't know why there different colors. Thank you Very Much I couldn't find any info on this anywhere.
Most cards come with antennae. Why are you "adding" a new antenna? (unless you are replacing the stock antenna with an extension.
