Replacing standard PCI card antenna with another?

nichorob · 1 Oct 2007 at 11:40

Morning all,

I have a Netgear WPN311 PCI wireless card with just the standard antenna on the back of it which works fine at the moment, however id like to move my PC to another position which would weaken the signal. Id like to buy another antenna which has a 2m wire which I could attach to my PCI card and run the cable with the antenna to its original position. What sort of antenna im looking at? All the db stregnths and that sort of thing confuses me. Female/male connector needed?

Thanks in advance.

As always i try to check OCUK store first and post their links..however they don't stock either of these products.

Thanks for the advice though.
