For me the wired solution works. The laptop is always at the same place, hasnt moved since i got it. So a cable isnt a problem, and it only did cost me 13 euro. Speed is good, 200Mbit/secdownload

Just a thought but maybe ask the kids at the Solydx forum if they have a connection to get Panda products to the Netherlands.

Hi...i am a new user here. I have seen a device that you plug it in electric outlet, then router ethernet cable to that plug, next then to any/many socket outlet in your home you plug the other of pair/sets, and short ethernet cable to computer.

It good to be prepared for the future, and you don't need to then buy another cable to upgrade soon. :)

For me a cat5, cat5e or cat6/6a would have worked as fine. Even the cat 5 cable i use now reaches download speed of 150Mbit.
But at leat i am prepared for the future :)

Good to read you have the cable on its way. :)
I haven't used cat 7, it says they also use the cat 7 for wiring smart homes.

I ordered a flat S/FTP cable from ebay, will arrive in a few days. Untill then i can either use my phone (usb tethering) or use a old cat 5 cable.
I didnt look good and thought i ordered the cat 6 cable but it is actually a cat 7 cable, no problem, price was 11,99 euro and free shipping from Jersey

The new ethernet cable you will order will solve it.

If you want to fix the antenna and connections then to fit the wireless card in, or a replacement one.
Cutting it back you will need to extend the antenna cables to the needed length and then to do this.
Can use 2 connectors, solder at the old cable and the new cable, between this it is a joiner connector screened, each side push into that and then they screw together each one over joiner, I have this type of joiners and also joiners that are adapters between antennas on the mobile kit for wifi.
Then solder the connectors at end of cable for the card.
Repeat for other cable.

Found a old cat 5 utp patch cable and hooked that up to the laptop. Download speed is 150Mbit/sec. For now its ok, going to order a longer cable tomorrow, the one i use now is only 7,5M so cant be installed against the wall, it needs to be twice that length.

I was about to suggest a magnetic screwdriver, until I saw your last post.  I used a wifi dongle from ThinkPenguin for awhile, until I found a script for getting mylaptop's built-in Broadcom wireless modem working.

After about an hour i finally got the screw out. Becasue the connector of the white cable came off and the one on the blak cable was damaged after inspection i did cut down both wires and closed the laptop. So at the moment i got a laptop without wireless, but not a problem, hooked up the nexus 6 and using usb tethering to get online.

I agree with LinuxNoob it is best to get the screw out.

have you tried , turning the laptop off, and gently tilting vertically rotating to move the screw nearer to where you can grab it ?

Is it the antenna cable connector came off the board, or a connector became disconnected from the cable ?
Here the man changes the wireless card, it shows how he removes the connectors and replaces them to the new (or the same) board.
 



It looks easily to do this, the problem is the screw astray.

When off and laptop vertical (different angles) tap some keyboard keys to make vibrations see if it moves the screw.

I think it would be safer if you get the screw out if it lands somewhere and shorts out a spot. If you're not sure how to take the covers apart maybe it would be a good idea to take it to your local geek to get it out. Just to be safe.

I would do it myself but others who are not so inclined may want to have someone who knows what they're doing. It is up to you.

If you look on the board edge for the serial or model number of mainboard you can enter this into Google and it will give you the info on the board.

Cat6 noodle cable in The Netherlands

Do they sell noodle cables where you bought the good priced optical mouse with tail from ?


Thanks, added it to bookmarks and will have a look at it later
