Trip Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) Ive just bought a tp-link tl-ant2405c and have a tp-link tl-350g which are incompatible with one another (nice one tp-link) the antenna on my tp wireless card is soldered on to the board ... whats the best method to attach the antenna ? just snip the wire and add some crimp on quick release ends ? to the card & antenna Edited April 14, 2010 by Trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeiah Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 your best bet is to solder a proper socket on. something like this providing your antenna is RP-SMA (the standard now). snip the end off and solder the sheath and inner cable to your circuit the same way as it is on your non-removable antenna.

JohnSmith Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 The image that you have uploaded here is not clearly showing the situation so if you give the brief description of both then it can be sorted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metatron Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Just unsolder it off the board and by a cheap RP-SMA antenna extender cable of Ebay for like $1, cut the end off you don't need and solder it too the board. Its cheaper and easier to just by a made up cable and cut one end off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
