    Am looking at the Intel 4965AGN, If only using the existing antennnas, does it matter on which connectors I clip them on and will reception be such a difference??

    Thanks.

    Connectors 1 and 2. Third antenna is not required - it will work with two...

    Thanks - works a treat! Easy to swap out, a much better performance from my new (to me) £7 off ebay

    I swapped the atheros ar5bxb63 for a bcm94321mc draft-n card. Both have 2 (main/aux) connectors, so i gain N capability without need of adding a third antenna.

    Cheers.
