Help on mini pcie or usb for wifi

[david_12]

Hey, guys. SHould I get a minipcie wifi card for my mini-itx build? I am currently using a usb antenna. Will upgrading to this intel one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106062 give me better preformance? If so, can you guys give me antennas (preferably on Amazon or Newegg) that i can use in my desktop? Thanks.

Also, does this card use the u. fl/IPEX connector?

Take a look at the picture in the link you provided, specifically at the 3 round connectors at the top of the card (numbered 1, 2, &3). Those are u. fl/IPEX connectors. Virtually all laptop antennas use those connectors. The real question is does your motherboard have a mini PCI Express slot on it? (approx 1" wide)
