Wanted to ask if anyone had some Antminer S1 wifi antennas for sale cheap.

I would need up to 4 of them and I live in FL.

Thanks

Oh thanks for that adaseb, I have a junk laptop i might tear apart to find that.

I am not very computer smart so I didn't even know that would be in there but for a laptop to get wifi i guess it would make sense.

Also thanks to cncguru who gave me a great deal for the ones he had.

I do have a couple quick questions though.

Are all antennas created equal?

Like I have seen some on ebay with the cord and its like a wire spiral antenna and then I have seen longer rubber coated antennas and shorter rubber coated antennas and was wondering does size matter and is there a noticeable difference?

Also wanted to ask to be sure if the antennas from an S1 will work on an S3?

Thanks again

Well what I sent you is 4 of each of these:

2.4GHz 9dBi RP TNC Omni Wireless Wifi Router Female Folding Antenna


RP-SMA Male To RP-TNC Female Adapter


I do believe they will also work with the S3's but have not tried.

Thanks again!

Well I took apart a Pavillion G7 and not the right style antenna I guess.

The good news I can sell the screen here or on ebay maybe.

Plus is was kinda fun taking it apart.

I have some more broken down laptops around here I will mess with and see if I can find an antenna.

Oh wait it is the right connector.

I was looking for the big gold color screw piece and not the little black wire connector piece that is connected to the board.

Well that's cool I will try to connect it tomorrow and see.

Thanks again
