Antenna WiFi
Antenna WiFi
Hello everyone. I own an older PC with all original components. I plan to upgrade some hardware for improved performance, but I also need to replace the WiFi antenna since some wires are becoming visible. I’d like a stable LAN connection, but the router is too far away from where my PC is located, so it’s not feasible. Since I’m not a heavy online gamer, my internet needs are basic. My motherboard is an M11AD and comes with a WiFi card using SMA connectors. Should I swap out the existing antenna for a similar one with the same setup, or can a USB connection antenna work? Thanks!
I wouldn't support a PCIe Wi-Fi card. It seems like the most effective option.
Choose an antenna featuring a SMA connector for seamless WiFi connectivity. The concept of a "USB antenna" doesn't apply here—it refers to USB WiFi cards integrated into the antenna design. Opt for the method that suits you best; if your onboard card functions, using an antenna with a SMA connector is likely more stable than a USB connection. Note: Some devices allow direct antennas to connect straight to the SMA port on the card, which could be worth exploring.
