Adding WIRELESS Antennas to my Laptop

#1 Post by furiousmonkey » Tue Oct 30, 2007 7:14 am

Ok, I did search the forums for information on this, but maybe not hard enough. If some one can point me in the right direction.

I would like to add an internal wireless card to my laptop, I understand that it is a little tricky with installing an antenna, at least tell me if there is a way to add an external wire taped to the side of my laptop!

I have completely rebuilt my T21, it had the power up problem, I tore the bottom off of it and put in a 1.13Ghz prosessor and a gig of ram, and a 7200RPM 100Gig Harddrive. I would not say that it was the most cost effective, it is possible to purchase a T30 1.8 for about the same price, however, I dont believe in throwing things out untill I am sure that they dont work! and Rebuilding this little guy was a lot of fun!

So why stop there? I would like the internal wireless option as well!

Hello Furious.
No problem adding the internal antenae, go to the IBM site and D/L the HMM for your model. It is free and in .pdf format.

Best investment you will make in a long while. Tee ! hee !

Those updates sound a bit unreal!
A T21 takes max. a CPU of 1.00 GHz.
A T21 takes max. 2x256=512MB RAM.

There are plenty of posts to fit wireless antennas yourself in this forum.
