    I am wondering what the point is of opening it up to show the chipset. I do not know alot about PCs or usbs. So how is this a do it yourself? when i looked up other 3coms they were all more then 20.00, more like 40.00 and up.

    @Pam

    This is a do it yourself, because there is an connector.
    So you can put an external antenna on it and reach a greater area.

    I’m wondering what kind of connector is that, SMA? Have you tried connecting an antenna? Does it really work?

    Cheers.
