Default New wireless antena

This is my first post ever,after much pain with the signal of the wireless antena,i finally manage to change it,i will post some photos later,showing the steps,its super easy and cheap,it takes no more then five minutes,and now my signal is great almost 3 bars more,..hehehehe...the antena i bought was Delock wlan-antenne intern 5dbi 20 mm,from german but i think is available worldwide.i open my acer using a website as everyone knows allready as it was shown in another post.the main reason for the problems we all have is the antenna not the card,the antenna is poor quality build and its glued to the case of the tablet with super glue i wonder who was the genius in the acer company that thought of this,as this being one of the main reasons why the antenna performs so bad.guys i will try to post the photos tonight.

This could be exactly what I need. Did you have to de-solder or anything? I would definitely be interested in seeing pictures and whatnot and the best place to get the antenna.

i used a desolder to remove the cable from the old antenna,maybe will use it for the new, as the cable is a bit short to place it the same stop as the original antena,or you guys can buy the same antena but with a shorter antenna cable and place it just next to the gps antenna,this can be maybe bad for the gps antenna signal,but its problaly better for the range of the wirelless antenna,less cable,shorter distance,even better signal.
