i have the broadcom one, BCM94352Z, and since it has such horrible reception on its own ive been looking into getting the ngff antennas for it. thing is, a lot of them say they're designed for intel wifi cards. my question is simple and 2 parted.

1: can i used any ngff antenna with my wifi card? i dont see why an analog connection to a nonpowered antenna would affect performance

2: if i cannot use these antennas universally, should i just buy the intel wifi chip? at $20 its not the end of the world to swap it if i need to

i'd found that much but between all the googling and such i noticed some people had difficulty with some of them, namely the connector to the card itself, apparently they have different sizes? i was hoping to have a definitive answer considering the time for returns and exchanges is....undesired to say the least lol
