    i've opened it before (because of some issues that was resolved with the help of a fellow forum member Forge)
    and it has 3 antennas cables, can i upgrade the wifi to a 3 antenna input for better range/speed?

    I guess you can do that with the 5300 wifi card. You have a 5100, right?

    if its running 2 antenna, yes its a 5100, and yes the 5300 will run all 3 antennae.

    Hmm does the G51 get an external wifi antenna option like my G50?

    Is the 5300 really that much of an improvement over the 5100?
