Mr-Protocol Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 All I could say is if you REALLY want to tear it apart, I would like to assume the following. Solder Experience. Electronics Background. Pigtail w/ reverse SMA connector 2.4 Ghz Antenna A little common sense is always good to have too... :P I would say open it up and take a picture of it and put on here, maybe we can identify the right area. It should look exactly the same as the original antenna location (I would assume). Keep in mind you will need the right connector for an antenna that you will be soldering onto this board.

Mr-Protocol Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 (edited) Any 2.4 Ghz antenna with the right connector will work. My Cisco Aironet 1200 uses a larger connector (cant remember which) but as for getting a pigtail I plan on ripping apart old/unwanted/broken wireless G routers people I know don't want. De-soldering the antennas whip and connector. Another note is... I talked to digininja and we are unsure if the openWRT will utilize dual antennas. At least on the fon. Not sure, I really should look at my webif to see if there is a setting... Edit: OK, so I just fired up my webif and looked around. Under I think System main tab, then wireless sub tab I see this. So it does look as if you can use dual antennas. Assuming webif applies the setting correctly... Edited June 17, 2010 by Mr-Protocol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
