    Hello everyone.

    I'm planning to change Wi-Fi card to 802.11n. Question is simple I believe: Build-in aerials for Wi-Fi are working 2.4GHz with OEM card.

    Are they capable to operate also 5GHz or I have to change them together with card?? If build-in aerials are not able to operate 5GHz iI can buy set of them from Oxfordtec and change but I would like to be sure before starting mod...

    Suggestions appreciated :)

    Don't worry. :) I like this Asian girl...

    802.11n card is detecting more networks even with weaker signal. In the area where I live it is necessary. I used to work and live in London where amount of wireless network was huge and a lot of them was open. At the moment I have to look for Wi-Fi and very often I have a problem with dropped connection etc. Also 802.11n is capable of transferring more data in the same time... And obviously Skype works better when I seat in my garden...
