    did any of you, who may have upgraded the wifi card on your g51vx or g51j, notice if 3 antennae were installed?

    The half size card will fit, but youll have to be creative to make it stay in.

    I upgraded my G51VX-RX05 to a 6300 half mini card I bought from babyhemi and made it stay in by using 2 pieces of card board and seksui tape that I had left over.

    Its working great. Im getting a better signal everywhere and places where I couldnt connect, I am able to now. It had a third antenna installed so all I had to do was plug that in.

    This is the one you want if you if you dont want to be creative
