Linksys WPC54G Version 3 External Antenna

unluckyshmoe · 06-15-2009

Hello, this forum was a large help to me while I was doing this project, so it only seemed right to create a user name and post here for others to see and get ideas from.

The card initially had a female U.FL connector on the board. I found a male U.FL connector and wire in an old laptop. I removed the female U.FL and soldered on the Male. I removed the SMA connector from an old PCI Wireless Card and soldered it to the wire, center wire to the inner pin and shield wiring to an outer pin. Then I wrapped up the extra wire, closed it up, and taped it with some scotch tape.

The finished product works great. Thanks for the info.

Isn't tape great! (ok, shut the fuck up with the wise cracks...you know who you are)
The only way that could have been better is if it were duct tape..

I remember when movies were put on tape.
