    I just installed internal wi-fi on my 28. I got an internal antenna and put it in my lid up top.

    Can one also install one of them there external antennas like ya'll do on the side also? I guess I'd have to merge the two antenna wites that plug into my card.

    In short, can you have two wi-fi antennas?

    Most cards have two antenna plugs on them. You should be able to run two antennas just fine.

    Ahhh gotcha. My card has two plugs on it, I thought they both had to be used at once. I get what you are saying.

    Thanks
