| nocko | Just rx'd my assembled reform. I didn't order it with the ath9k, because I have an unused one... this was a mistake. Mine is half-height. It doesn't seem like there's a useful way to mount it in the reform. All the extention brackets assume a screw-down configuration. | 22:30 |
|---|---|---|
| nocko | I can find another wifi card, but I don't seem to have an antenna included. I have the antenna holder acrylic, but no antenna. I suppose I can just order something from Digikey or similar. Would have liked to have a "stock" one. | 22:31 |
| technomancy | the default antenna is not very good | 22:33 |
| technomancy | IMO you're going to want to replace it anyway if you plan on using your reform in a different room from the wifi AP | 22:33 |
| nocko | Ha! A blessing in disguise then. | 22:33 |
| technomancy | lemme find the one I got | 22:34 |
| technomancy | "Laird EFD2455A3S-10MHF1" | 22:34 |
| technomancy | https://community.mnt.re/t/wifi-range-issue/322 | 22:34 |
| nocko | Thanks! | 22:34 |
| chartreuse | nocko, yeah I also found out that the antenna wasn't included. For an ath9k I went with an ath9k based used airport extreme card that I got cheap | 22:44 |
| chartreuse | The Laird is a good antenna, if you get a 3x3 card and want a third antenna you can also get an extra single antenna from them | 22:44 |
| chartreuse | Both the stock and Laird ones can be ordered from digikey | 22:44 |
| chartreuse | Just if you get an extra single one for 3x3, make sure to get one with the right connector, I accidentally bought one with one of the tiny rf ones, had to replace the coax to use it | 22:45 |
| chartreuse | https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E8pFBxbVUAYEDE2?format=jpg&name=large | 22:48 |
| chartreuse | The airport card I'm using is a Airport AR5BXB112, which is a full length, ath9k, 3x3 wireless n card | 22:54 |
| chartreuse | They're pretty common and cheap | 22:54 |
| nocko | @chartreuse thanks for the tips! | 23:02 |
| chartreuse | No problem, I'd link to the 3rd antenna I bought but it's the wrong connector | 23:24 |
| chartreuse | I'd have to find the version with the right one | 23:24 |
| mntmn | nocko: you can use half size cards with a cheap adapter | 23:47 |
| chartreuse | I think they'd work yeah, even though it's not a screw mount the adapters typically are still wide enough to hit the clips | 23:50 |
| chartreuse | Though the apple ath9k card isn't that much either at around $10 | 23:51 |
| chartreuse | And you can get 3x3 performance if you fit a third antenna. I'm able to get the full 450Mbit on my 5GHz AP with mine, and the ~220Mbit or whatever it is on 2.4GHz | 23:53 |
| chartreuse | Though that assumes you have a 3x3 access point | 23:53 |
