Thinkpads Forum

I have an X61s with the two standard antennas and have had some problems of late with a few of the networks I regularly connect to (I have since I had this laptop). I'm wondering, would the third antenna even work on my card (Atheros AG) or would it only work on the Intel AGN card? Furthermore, would I have to get the Lenovo techs to install it?

Would the Intel AGN card greatly increase my performance? Would the third antenna increase its performance?

No you cannot, there isn't any place to connect N antenna on AG card.

You'll have to install both antenna and adapter yourself, lenovo techs won't be installing it for you.

Consult HMM to find installation procedure:
