Can you replace the antennas with others that don't have a cord?

The ones that come with this screw on line any other PCI based wireless card. So I dont see why not, but I have not done this. The antennas that come with this card are on a roughly 3 foot long cable. The cable screws into the back of the pci card. The the antenna(s) are encased in a white plastic molding that is attached (non-removable from the cable) at the end of that cable. So the cable and antenna is one piece.

"Rabbit ear" style antennas (like what most Wireless Routers have) will work, but will be very directional due to all the metal of your PC blocking/reflecting the signal in one direction. So it depends on which direction the Wireless Router is in relation to your PC.

I just tried this with antennas from a dual-band router. I got a 20-25% drop in signal, but it still worked fine. It is important to note however that my desktop is a true desktop i.e. it is located on my desk's surface, and not the floor.

You could, but wouldn't recommend it. By doing so you effectively cut down on the wireless range as you just went from an open omni-directional signal to one that is now partially blocked by the PC itself.

I went to the Intel site and did not find an easy answer for you. I recommend that you try to get in touch with Intel, however you can always look for antennas that have the same properties and connection as the corded one. This would require extensive knowledge and exhaustive searching. Maybe it would be easier to just choose a different model or find a way hide the corded antenna(attach under desktop?). Sorry I can't help you more.

You are going to need an antennae for this device because it is not included.

The unit has a telescopic antenna as an attachment. I don't think you can attach a separate one of your own, though.

Yes, you can replace the existing handset cord with another one. When I tried it, I had to use a tiny screw driver to release the "new" cord as there is not a lot of space to get my finger to do it.

Yes, for the amplifier, but not needed for the antenna itself if you don't use the amplifier. (I found that the amplifier was unnecessary.)

yes, you need antenna and antenna is not included. You could by a very cheap rabbit antenna. Do not buy any costly antenna, because it will not make any difference.

yes, soon as you go to Radio Shack (or some other place like it) and buy an adaptor. the end of the cord it comes with are just wires sticking out ... can't plug into anything yet until you get the other part.

You should be able to reuse them. Just be careful removing the digitizer because the antenna is attached to it. Good luck!

I don't know about replacing the wire antenna. You will have to check with Sony about that one. The antenna is that long thin wire. I leave my looped together and tied with the cord that tied it together when I purchased it. I just lay it on top of the volume control button on the right. Hope that helps.

Yes, you can remove the two antennas. The connector that is on the router is a reverse polarity, or RP, SMA female connector.

Probably not, depending on the actual application. The modules with antennas are intended to allow you to turn something on and off via a little hand-held remote control. Normal modules just depend on signal transmission through the installed house AC wiring, sent from a tabletop controller plugged in somewhere in the house. Replacing an "Antenna-version" with a "non-antenna" version will eliminate the option to turn a device on with the hand-held remote. If that matters, using a standard module instead of the antenna version will not work the same. If you do not use a hand-held remote at all (we do not), instead running your whole X10 system from a standard table-top controller, nothing will change. I'd just try it as see if anything else quits working.

Yes you can. We have a rather large service center, these have worked out great. Had to replace a couple of antenna's from droppage and also belt clips!!!

Yes. you can use it, minus the antenna, however I strongly recommend you use the attached antenna, for better frequency and performance.

None, you have to acquire three conductor antenna controller cable separately on your own.
237457
No, but you can buy a regular bendable antenna for a few bucks and replace it.

Yes, just unscrew the center and change everthing out to the proper hardware you want use. Works very well for the large boomarang antenna I installed on it.

Yes, and Adapters are cheap (75 Ohm) and can be had at Radio Shak. In fact the antenna may come with one, can't remember.
