G+_Bob Lanahan Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Are they wires that go to the antenna? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Nick david I'm guessing that you have two antennas for 2.4ghz and 1 antenna for 5ghz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Bob Lanahan Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Not exactly sure what you want to do Nick... does this YouTube video help? How about this picture that shows the card connected to three antennas http://www.hwtools.net/jpg/MP2W_5300H_V212_1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Bob Lanahan Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hi Nick, so you have a laptop that is using a 2 wire card and you want to add an new wireless card and possibly add a third antenna? I would hook up to your laptop like the YouTube video shows and check your performance. Do you have the app inssider? Here's a link to the web page http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/ I like the program, it show's you what other broadcasts are around you. Once you get the new card working as the video shows, then you can mess with adding a third antenna. Holler if any questions. Keep us posted on your success. Maybe even post a few before (old card) and after (new card, with just two wires, new card with three antennas) screen shots of what inssider shows you about the signals at home.?
