Modding a tri-band pc-card (pictures), need help
Hi! I`m planning to add an external connector to my wlan card.
The card on the picture is a SMC 2536W-AG, and my question is where do I solder? there seems to be 4 antennas on the board http://home.online.no/~edg-edva/antenna_mod.JPG Last edited by Thorn : 12-09-2004 at 11:43 AM. |

One pair of antennas will be for the 802.11b/g radio, the other pair will be for the 802.11a. to which radio were you planning on adding an external antenna?

I would mod it out as a pigtail then you can use different antennae to suit your current application. As for what antenna, that depends on what you are wanting to do. A directional if you are trying to hit a specific target and an omni if you want a broad coverage. I don't recall much info here on modding an "A" card, but there is plenty of info available on the "B/G" cards. Plenty of good antenna info in the antenna FAQ forum.
