    I Ordered an R3 with the basic wireless card with the thought of buying a 6300 on ebay for cheap. I just now dawned on me that the basic wireless card only uses one antenna. Does the R3 still ship with 3 antennas even though the wireless card it ships with uses only one?

    Not sure but I believe I've read that it comes with grey/black/white wires that just need to be attached to the 6300.

    But I'm not 100% sure about this. :confused:
