Inspiron 4000 - Installing Mini-PCI Wireless
Ok, I have a Dell Inspiron 4000, it had no modem or anything in the mini PCI slot. So I bought a wireless card for it. When I installed it and downloaded the software, I got horrible reception compared to the PCMCIA card I was using. I read that hooking it up to the antenna would help. I looked and saw on the notebook antenna, theres a little nipple like connector labeled "COM", also on the mini PCI card there are two nipples labeled "MAIN" and "AUX". Which nipple gets connected to COM1? And where would I get a cable for it?
HERE is a link to the card. The nipples I am talking about are in the top right corner in the photo's. Thanks for all the help.
Jordan,
If I cant get a cable for it, could I just solder a piece of wire between the two connections? Also I have been searching. I think the name of the connector is UF.L or SMA.
