    You really need to spend some time reading a few of the posts around here... That is the WWAN or LAN antenna... For the price of the antenna... You could probably just buy another CF-27....

    Michael,
    If you look on the driver package I believe I sent you, you will see some service manual supplements. One of them, Supplement 19, is for the aerial with instructions.

    The hard drive you bought should speed it up. If you are looking to do something on the cheap I would suggest an SMA bulkhead connection for an external antenna. That way you could attach a stubby wifi or a cantenna. Lots of options!
