    Using an extension cable for the wireless antenna on the X7 (Pigtail)

    I recently relocated my X7 and the wireless is just not what it used to be.

    Has anyone tried to use one of these (or similar) http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Durable-Re...+antenna+cable
    with their X7's antenna?

    It should work in theory?
    Am I looking at the right kind of cable in that Amazon link?

    Thanks

    You definitely understand the connectors, all fine there.

    3 meters however is i think too much. Anything above 2 meters will give you a weak signal unless your antenna will be directional (not omni). I honestly doubt that the X7 can handle 3 meters.

      pluto is right.
      3m is indeed too long oO
      my advice ->
      1. buy a new antenna,a strong one oO

      this one would be the king ^^

      be aware that u have to choose the RIGHT connection between the antenna and the cable,there a different ypes (n-type and so on),u have to choose the right one ;D

      the more powerful the antenna the best signal ull get.

      or at least this antenna

      2. buy your cable but it would be better if you would buy a cable with max length of 1,5m
      then install this app on your minix.

      then put ur antenna in the right position and voila maybe you will get a better signal and can place your antenna more far away from your minix

      give it a try ^^
