Hey there,

If you have bluetooth and don't use it, u could use that antenna.
You can buy the antenna seperately i suppose, but i don't know where

A time ago I made a post about the 6300 and a 3th antenna aswell, take a look: http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware/475480-m17x-wireless-card.html

cheerz,

 

I bought a short antennae from *bay.
Then attached the short one to my bluetooth and used the old bluetooth antennae for the 3rd wireless antennae.

This way, I get the better placement for the wireless and the shorter antennae now connected to the bluetooth is more than enough for what I use bluetooth for (plus I did not have to take the screen apart to route a new antennae in)

I'd use this suggestion as a work around, since the antennae go up through the LCD panel, which is a PITA to access.

 

Actually, I mentioned how I DID NOT have to go through the LCD panel since the replacement antennae I bought was a short one that fits just under the keyboard.
I connect that shorter one to the bluetooth and then just use the old bluetooth antennae that is already routed up in the LCD as the 3rd antennae for my wireless.

Right, because if you used the dell antennae you'd have to route it up through the LCD panel, so you should use the blue-tooth antennae and buy the shorter one for the blue-tooth.

 

When I bought my intel 6300 of ebay it came with the 3rd antenna and I routed it near the existing cables leaving towards the gpu, then turned back with it, went near the wpan card and sticked it on the front, somewhere near the right speaker; kept the blue antenna for btooth as I use it now and then with my phone. Works awesome
