i *think* i asked about this a while back but i don't remember seeing a response, so i'm hoping someone can still help out.
i have an asus wl-500gp (v1) and recently picked up an atheros-based tp-link tl-wn961n to replace the mini-pci format broadcom wireless card that was already in there. the new card (not surprisingly) pops in just fine so, the questions: * given that this is a non-standard combination, i'm assuming there's no pre-built flashable 8.09.1 image for my router. (after all, why *would* there be? but i can easily build my own image -- i've done it before so no problem.) * has anyone else actually set up this combination and got it to work with full wireless? i ask since here's a picture of the card: http://www.tp-link.com/products/product_des.asp?id=138 and, if you look closely, there are three antenna connectors at the top of the card. the one on the far left is labelled "0" and i would have figured that to be the primary connector but, in an asus wl-500gp, the single antenna comes in below that card and, relative to that image, near the bottom *right*. and the wire coming from the antenna isn't long enough to reach all the way up and across the wireless card to get to that connector, which leaves me with 2 choices: 1) find a longer wire somewhere, or 2) attach it to one of the other connectors on the top *right* (labelled "1" and "2"). thoughts? in short, has anyone else done this, and how did you do it? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
