Ummm, is it that the antenna got snapped off (and maybe taken, but either way is no longer joined and therefore useless to you/the card) or is that you have a perfectly working antenna and need a new card with which to pair said li'l antenna? ..and what "the is" might that be? (but, pisstake aside, do you mean that you're actually after only an antenna with the right kind of SMA connector?)

@bdt

LOL, quite eloquently put there!

My bad

Was typing that quickly on my phone before getting into my area where 3G has been dead for days

bdt - you're right with the statement : the person snapped the antenna off the card leaving only the base of the antenna plugged in and the actual anteanna on the floor :/ I tried to put them together again, but the wire that runs through the centre is snapped.

So yea - I'd need a new antenna to stick in my card that works perfectly

What I also tried asking is - if that is possible - does anyone know what I'd pay?

Also, how many different connectors are there?

Yup, that'd break it all right - mayhap you should consider giving the miscreant an antenna suppository...?

OK, some good news here: you now qualify for the super-monster-penislike-extension that is the 9dBi dipole, with hot SMA-male reverse polarity action...

The Miro retail price list has an RRP of R144 for that monster - not bad for getting a nigh-on footlong talking point on the back of your PC!

Also, how many different connectors are there?

More than you ever wanted to know about RF connectors right here!

Ok - thanks bdt!

Can the public buy from Miro ... ? The Miro site - for some reason - is blocked here!

hehe - yea ... but 3 routers down the line, 2 dongles later and a new OS and it all seemes to work now The main thing seemed to be the OS ...

Anyway - wanna sell this, so I need a cheap antenna. I think it comes with 6db
