nockoJust 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
nockoI 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
technomancythe default antenna is not very good22:33
technomancyIMO you're going to want to replace it anyway if you plan on using your reform in a different room from the wifi AP22:33
nockoHa! A blessing in disguise then.22:33
technomancylemme find the one I got22:34
technomancy"Laird EFD2455A3S-10MHF1"22:34
technomancyhttps://community.mnt.re/t/wifi-range-issue/32222:34
nockoThanks!22:34
chartreusenocko, 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 cheap22:44
chartreuseThe 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 them22:44
chartreuseBoth the stock and Laird ones can be ordered from digikey22:44
chartreuseJust 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 it22:45

chartreuseThe airport card I'm using is a Airport AR5BXB112, which is a full length, ath9k, 3x3 wireless n card22:54
chartreuseThey're pretty common and cheap22:54
nocko@chartreuse thanks for the tips!23:02
chartreuseNo problem, I'd link to the 3rd antenna I bought but it's the wrong connector23:24
chartreuseI'd have to find the version with the right one23:24
mntmnnocko: you can use half size cards with a cheap adapter23:47
chartreuseI think they'd work yeah, even though it's not a screw mount the adapters typically are still wide enough to hit the clips23:50
chartreuseThough the apple ath9k card isn't that much either at around $1023:51
chartreuseAnd 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 2.4GHz23:53
chartreuseThough that assumes you have a 3x3 access point23:53
