Thinkpads Forum

I ordered the X61s system 4 days ago.
I have checked the email that Lenovo sales sent to me, and there is a listing about all the items and their codes and descriptions.
I compared this with some listing of X61t system on this forum and found that in my listing, there is no item below:

42R9189 VBB INTEGR.WIFI WL 3RD ANTENNA

Since I ordered the new AGN wireless card, probably there should be such 3rd antenna to fully function.

I just wondering that for the x61s system, is the 3rd antenna already included, and does not need to be particularly listed. Or it is a missing.

Is there anyone in the forum who has orderd x61s with intel 4965AGN wireless card? If possible, please help me to check, whether this is a missing or it is same for all x61s orders to not list this item.

Thank you very much!!!

anyone can answer my question?
Thanks a lot.

From my experience, if you order a wi-fi card with N capability in a Thinkpad, it will automatically come with 3 antennas as N requires all 3 to properly work.

So don't worry if your config doesn't show it-if you got an N card, then you are good to go!

Lenovo gives 2 options for the UltraConnect II antenna:

2x3 UltraConnect II antenna
2x2 UltraConnect II antenna

My guess is if you pick the 2x2 you won't get the extra antenna. I think some wifi n router do use 2 antennas that's why you get to choose 2 or 3.
