    Wireless NIC antenna

    I acquired a Netgear WG311v3 NIC for free with some stuff I got

    Unfortunately only the stub of its antenna remained, rest was broken off

    Just tested it with an antenna borrowed from my other WG311v3, and it works fine

    Any recommendations for a replacement antenna ?

    I'm tempted to get a higher gain antenna to improve the NIC I borrowed from, or maybe just get one of the $2 replacement ones from DealExtreme

    Please consider I'm in Australia - no value in recommendations for stuff from NewEgg or other vendors where shipping costs are unviable

    Not really interested in Netgear bashing either

      Re: Wireless NIC antenna

      I've just bought an Asus WL-ANT151 on eBay, from a vendor in Taiwan

      The Asus name provides a small degree of confidence that it might be a bit better than a BrandX unit

        Single-channel antenna?
        by Hondaman
        Recently I switched from my Gray-Hoverman to the Antennas Direct ClearStream 4 MAX. Seems to work about as well as the old G-H in my attic (one-story ranch home), but the Antennas Direct unit can be mounted outside on my chimney if desired.

        I should mention that I was also using a 29-inch "T" shaped antenna for RF channel 11. I know you're not supposed to use TWO antennas unless they have the same length coaxial cable going into your combiner (and even then there might be problems). So I made sure the cables were equal length.

        Years ago I made a "T"...
