Questions & Answers

I really like the site. I'm an idiot about this stuff, so it was very informative, which brings me to my question: I have a laptop with integrated wireless, but it seems all the antennas attach to the pc cards. Is there some type of antenna that will work with the internal wireless?

Unless a laptop with integrated wireless had a built in external antenna jack (none exist that we are aware of), you need to consider getting that wireless laptop card external 2.4GHz antenna ready that will plug into the laptop's type II/III PC card slot. Make sure the card has a connector for an external 2.4GHz antenna. Another option is a USB wireless adapter with an external antenna port. Having the external antenna option is handy when you want to increase the range and coverage of your laptop.
