Antenna Cables (Alienware Area 51 R2)

Welcome to the Dell Community  @US.POLO 

I cannot find the Dell part number for the cable.

Can you check and see if there is a part number label attached to the cable???

If not there are WiFi cables listed on eBay that should work.

Glad to have joined the Dell Community, and am keeping my interest in the Alienware brand.  "U2CAMEB4ME" thank you, for providing me with the support. In fact, I am not sure how to open the top portion of the R2 frame  where the antenna are kept.

For replacement, I can check with the gaming wireless cards, and figure out the reccomended antenna. However, could you provide some instructions, for removing the defective antenna's that are placed on-top of the R2 chassis? 

Anyone aware if this killer wifi card can be used with the Alienware Area 51 R2?

I cannot find any instructions to remove/replace the antennas.

You can place the antennas anywhere on the "Outside" of the metal case

Not sure if the Killer 1650 will work???

Look at the Network drivers for known compatible cards.

U2 thanks for the support, and I have read through the R2 service manual. Instead, there isn't anything on the antennas, but other than removing or replacing the WiFi card. Likewise, network drivers online aren't upto date with specifications as I have selected a newly released product. Maybe someone has opened the case where the antenna strings are attached, or I will take your suggestions and place them on top of the inside case. It be nice to here from someone that has experience with such an issue.
