    Anybody know what antenna is supposed to attach to the external port. I have added an AverMedia A312 which was easy enough to do after completely disassembling the whole thing. The one that was shipped with the product if for internal but the G50 is externally wired.
    Thanks all in advance.

    It's not a wifi port. It's a TV tuner port.

    bboretsky, you'll need an antenna with a MMCX plug or adapter.
