| 546241 | 2007-05-02 04:10:00 | Hi guys, We have a requirement at work for a laptop based Wifi card that can also take an external wifi antenna input....I can't seem to find one at a local supplier...do any of you have Wifi cards that have this optional antenna input, and if so what brand are they and where did they come from? TIA Macca PS - this is'nt for wardriving! Its actually for work in a quarry:) |

| 546243 | 2007-05-02 04:32:00 | Gidday Speedy, I'm not actually after a card with a physical antenna already attached, but more like this one: www.expansys.co.nz It has a connector on the card that a optional antenna (in our case a Cisco yagi) can be connected to.... they seem to be more common overseas.... the one above is the only one I can find in NZ (well its really in Australia:( ) I have seen some drastic mods to add this feature however on the net...I may have to experiment with my old Cisco Aironet adaptor!! All advice and thoughts appreciated.... |

Theres a New Zealand Wifi shop online and they sell them, but i cant remember its name a quick Google should bring up something. | Pete O'Neil (6584) | ||
