Wireless antenna

I'm sure I already know the answer to this question, but I thought I would check with the experts on this forum before you continue.

After a large distorted mother card, I decided to pick up a T41 on eBay, put in my old hard drive, RAM and make all updates.  The laptop works fine except that it does not display Intel PRO Wireless. So long, I forgot that at the time many laptops do not have wireless. I forgot to check that.   Morale-"never assume."

Question is this: I can not just drop my wireless adapter Intel PRO to my laptop dead in this laptop because I would always be without antenna - right?  No chance that these were all built with antennas even though wireless has not been ordered? (Kind of like at the time where cars built without radios that still had the wiring for them.)  It was less expensive on an assembly line to build them with the wiring, because so little has no radio command.)  Does anyone know?  We're talking T41 2373-7FU here Type.

I should just go buy a 802. 11 b/g Wireless PC Card and do with it--right?

Since these old laptops, wireless, were only 802. 11 b, will be a 802. 11 b / g adapter card still works at only the data rates 'b' or will they work to 'g' if the latest drivers are installed?

Thank you.

What can I say?  Apparently, this particular T41 2373-7FU came not with a wireless card.  I checked in Device Manager > hardware > network adapters and it has not detected any wireless card.  I doubt that this card would have been deleted.  The laptop looks untouched inside.  He had left it's anemic 512/256 configuration RAM when I bought it.

In all cases, the best thing to do is to buy a 802.11 b/g wireless external card that fit comfortably into the PCI slot on the side.  I never use this niche anyway, and this leaves the remaining two available USB slots.  In addition, a new wireless card allows you to start with the wireless G and drivers that show the update in September 2010.  The simplest solution is often the best.   It works, I'm wireless throughout the House.

My thanks to everyone for their help.  This is what makes this forum so great.

    Hello:

    Some models with wireless cards single band (2.4 GHz) come only with a single antenna.

    I have no idea why HP did this because two antennas on a single band card would provide to improve wireless reception.

    By the part number on the wireless card, I see that it is a Realtek 8188EE model which is a single band card.

    HP do not make a mistake and leave out an antenna.

  • Cable and wireless antenna G60-235DX transmitters

    The cable, the 25.90727.001 transmitter/receiver antenna located at the top right of the display panel, is cut in half where it passes through the hinge of the screen to the right.  I don't know if it's OK to splice a wire between the 2 ends, so I thought I would just replace everything - transmitter/receiver antenna that has cable with connectors on the other end of the cable that go on the wireless card.  (While I'm there I'll transceiver antenna to replace the 25.90728.001 which is on the top left side of the display panel, because it's cable could start to cut to the left screen hinge.)

    > If< i="" can="" simply="" splice="" in="" a="" piece="" of="" wire,="" then="" how. ="" i="" don't="" have="" a="" solder="" gun,="" but="" i="" am very="" familiar="" with electrical="" connectors. ="" connectors="" may="" be="" too="" thick="" for="" space="" where="" cable="" lies="" though. ="" can="" a="" good="" connection="" be="" made="" somehow="">

    If I can't connect, then how can I remove the transmitter/receiver to the antenna of the display panel.  The upper part of the transmitter/receiver to the antenna has a hole on each side that are mounted on plastic tabs.  The lower part of the transmitter/receiver to the antenna is a metal piece that feels pasted to display the Panel flat, square.  I just pull/lift it?  Thanks in advance.

    Personally, I would not recommend the antennas of the splicing.  As you noted, there is not a lot of room under the LCD screen, and this would make it more likely that something would happen later.

    Due to the nature of how wifi antennas go through the lCD screen, I highly recommend the way of the wifi USB adapter if the performance of the card wifi is being affected by such cable damaged. There is much that can go wrong when disassemble the LCD bezel and display, so be careful if you decice to proceed.

    See page 4-23 of this guide.  This warranty covers the removal of the LCD panel which includes the steps on the withdrawal of the cables from the LCD screen.  It is not a section dedicated to the antennas themselves, so it can take reading of the different sections to reconstruct how the process should be done.  The LCD removal section covers most of it.

  • Wireless antenna cannot be turned on (P10)

    I bought the wireless pci card PA3300U-2MPC card (Atheros AR5001X +) for my satellite p10 251 (Win XP Home). Using installation guides, I installed it with precaution, connected with black and white cables. Then installed the driver, after that the Atheros software. The result - the wireless connection does not work. Configfree software both Atheros bring the message "turn on the wireless switch", but the switch is in position "On". When I press Fn + F8, it's the same message.

    The device is compatible with my laptop, according to the ebay seller. I also found on the Internet a Toshiba-Schwitzerland pdf file, when it is shown, that this card is compatible with all mobile phones of P10.

    Does anyone have an idea, what the problem?

    Hi gav

    Is the map propely recognized and installed (Device Manager status)?

    Try using the ConfigFree tool. This network of application monitoring can give you information on potential connectivity problems. On the right side, you can find possible solutions.

    Good luck!

  • Wireless kit PA3298U-1MPC and Satellite A30 - where is the antenna cable?

    Hello
    I have Toshiba Satellite A30 (part No. PSA33A - 87 M 34) which was bought in Australia.
    I just bought the PA3298U-1MPC wireless connection kit a couple of days. The installation guide says I should connect two cables. But I can't find them. There are no cables in the compartment. There are no antennas in both wireless kit.
    So the first question is if I should have antennas in wireless kit (I'm not sure that he has not lost the seller).
    If these cables must be in Notepad then I need help to find them.
    I thank very you much for any help.

    Hello

    If the unit has a wireless antenna, the cables are usually there and visible immediately when the lid of the WLAN card is removed. From your description, I assume that your device is not ready WLAN.

    Good bye

  • Install antenna third-party wireless on my laptop. It has disabled my internal antenna.

    Is there a way I can get both activated?

    Hello

    Use of Wireless antenna is a science that it itself, if installing the new antenna disabled olde that that he probably supposed to be this way.

    According to the design, having two active antenna could be worse than one (as the addition of a fifth wheel of a car does not make the car better).

    In any case you did not provided all the technical data concerning the specific material involved.
    So there's no way to guess what it is.

  • Pavilion elite m9255uk: damaged wiring antenna Office

    Main problem is that the PC won't start, thinking that perhaps it would be mobo.  Yes I know it's old but it's my favorite. Thus, three questions

    1ST QUARTER

    The PC Pavilion Elite has a built-in wireless antenna for the management of wireless LAN 802.11 b/g. I just ran my fingers on the thread that connects the card/adapter inside the 'roof' and the coating of the wire is cracked near the 'roof' of the pc.  He has obviously been pinched or rubs against something, could that have damaged the mobo if the stripped part had made contact with the case?  If this isn't the case, it would be prudent to cover the part damaged this wiring with insulation tape?

    Q2

    Otherwise, could remove the card/adapter and wiring and do not use wireless, what would be the consequences of this?

    Q3

    After that the cracked wire issue is sorted, I'll have to do some work of elimination on the problem of no initialization.  What are the sons of "skeleton" that should be left connected to the mobo to start upward? (please let me know if you want this bit of my questions posted elsewhere and I'll re)

    With this damaged wiring, I doubt it will be problem except playing havoc with wireless reception.  Stick the broken insulation should be fine, as long as the wire is OK.

  • Re: Satellite L500D - speed wireless worsens considerably with lid closed

    Hello

    The last 3 days have been nerve wrecking for me. I am the owner of a Satellite L500 D and at the moment, I decided to connect it to an external monitor, to enjoy a better visual experience, until I have buy a desktop computer.

    Well, day 1, I had problems with the speed of the wireless connection (the laptop is related to the router via a wireless connection only). Physically, what I've done, it is simply connect the monitor to the laptop, while closing the lid, so it won't get in the way. And Yes, I had already checked the 'Status quo' feature in the desktop "when I close the lid of my laptop.

    I went to a speed of 30 Mbpps to love... 1 Mbpps, or even less, so that it becomes almost unbearable for surfing the web, let alone to download all the files. After calling my ISP support line and a subsequent visit by a technician (he's even changed the router), we were convinced that the problem lied in the router, or disruptions in the connections wireless neighbors, microwave ovens, cell phones, that sort of thing. I even thought that the problem had something to do with my wireless keyboard/mouse set that might interfere with the connection because it uses the same 2.4 Ghz band range.

    After spending a lot of time to ruin my head, I suddenly noticed how the speed would increase simply by opening the lid of the laptop. And the surprise... If I just lift the lid a bit (like 10 cm) above the keyboard, I hear a sound of 'connection' and therefore, the connection speed is always high.

    Have you ever had such an experience? Is the antenna (is it located anywhere in the keyboard?) of the adapter that stops whenever I close the lid? Is it possible to permanently program the computer to have the connection all the time?
    Well, it has been an experience painfully education

    Appreciate your comments/solutions

    Paulo

    Hi Paulo

    We speak/write here on laptops and computers laptops are designed for mobile use and all of the material placed in the laptop is also optimized for mobile use. It is logical that wireless antenna must be placed in the book part where it can get better WLAN signal. Because of this key WLAN antenna is placed around the screen. When you open the display WLAN antenna is best placed to pick up WLAN signal.

    If you want to use the laptop as the lace and desktop replacement by with closed side cover I recommend using connectivity LAN only or perhaps some external WLAN as WLAN USB stick antenna.
