    Another little canundrum with the W150ER barebone - the antennas are labeled and the numbers are also on the wifi card, but one of the antennas is too short to reach the right slot. So would it matter if i connected them differently - i mean these antennas all look the same - are they and will this work right?

    Wire order shouldn't affect it as all 3 of your antennas are the same (wire wise) not on the card.
    Kind of like the antenna wires on a stereo receiver, the receiver doesn't care as long as wires are connected to it to pull the signal.

    They all look the same - same color, diameter... I just hope they really are the same as i dont get why theyre labeled wwan 1-3. Is there also any point in labeling the connectors on the wifi card then?
    I know the old Dell laptops used to have different colour antennas as they actually were all different but i hope this isnt the case here anymore.
