Re: N810 External WiFi Antenna MOD

The cable is shielded, the shielding is soldered to another point.
Someone have someplace they can host the High Res pics??
I can email them.

Re: N810 External WiFi Antenna MOD

The cable alone from the pigtail acts as an antenna.
Since no test was done before the mod, a test after wouldn't give enough info.

I can give signal noise levels with and without an ant attached...

Re: N810 External WiFi Antenna MOD

You "might" be able to find a RP-SMA pigtail with a smaller connector, but I didn't bother to look, I'm impatient. :)

Re: N810 External WiFi Antenna MOD

Where is THAT located?
After reading on these forums, basically I am understanding that the GPS is crap, so it would just be crap with a better antenna.
Not sure if its worth it...

Re: N80 External WiFi Antenna MOD

Yep, that's my post as well.
I like adding pigtails when I have them, it opens up alot of options.

Re: N810 External WiFi Antenna MOD

I didn't cut traces, wanted to keep it simple. ;)

You don't technically NEED to add an antenna to the adapter, you will get a signal boost without it, but then you wouldn't be able to do neat...

RTL8187 driver??

Does anyone have an RTL8187 driver for OS2008?
I am looking to use my ALFA USB WiFI with my N810 and saw a few posts about it.

I'm not linux savvy enough yet to compile the driver myself.

Re: More applets?

How about more than 7?
You "should" be able to fit them all the way across, but I don't think it's made that way.
