    Apparently Recoil has done the Intel Wireless N upgrade to an E1505 I would like to know if it was fairly simple and or if anyone can tell me where I can buy that card ? Thanks

    Its a miniPCI-E card I assume, such as the Intel 4965.

    Those are a dime a dozen, just go on eBay. Shouldn't cost you more than $30. With the new 5100/5300 series out now, they should be even more available used.

    Not sure if the E1505 has the 3 antenna system available, so you might suffer degraded performance.

    I see that ( the model # ) in Recoils signature but he shows in a thread that it was working good and got good speed/range so I was wondering specifically about the hookup/antenna etc

    Or another way to put it is the 4965 has 3 antenna input the 39 has "Main" and "alternate" which of the 3 hookups do the 2 connect to and does not having one bother the card somehow etc etc ?
