12 PowerBook External Antenna 12 PowerBook External Antenna
Everyone knows Powerbooks have terrible wi-fi reception. Ikviens zina Powerbooks ir briesmīgi wi-fi saņemšanas. Unfortunately, only 15″ and 17″ Powerbooks facilitate adding your own external antenna. Diemžēl tikai 15 "un 17" Powerbooks atvieglot pievienojot savu ārējo antenu. With just a few quick cuts you can modify a 12″ Powerbook to take an external antenna as well. Tikai ar dažiem ātriem gabali varat modificēt 12 "PowerBook veikt ārējo antenu, kā arī.

antenna you want as long as you get the right pigtail for it (and the impedance matches, which I think is 50 ohms here). Antenas vēlaties, ja vien jums tiesības bize par to (un impedance mači, kas, manuprāt, ir 50 omu šeit). I opted for a 5.5db flat blade antenna ($15), but there are many other options over here: http://sharperconcepts.zoovy.com/category/24ghzantennas/ The connector coming off the existing internal antenna is going to have to be pushed back into the notch it comes out from. Es izvēlējās 5.5db dzīvoklis asmens antena ($ 15), bet ir vēl daudzas citas iespējas vairāk šeit: http://sharperconcepts.zoovy.com/category/24ghzantennas/ savienotājs nenokrītot pastāvošo iekšējo antenu gatavojas būt uzstājām atpakaļ iecirtums tā neizdalās no. You'll quickly realize it doesn't go back far enough and obstructs the little metal flap from closing back. Jūs ātri saprotam, tas neko atpakaļ pietiekami tālu un kavē maz metāla atloks aizvēršanos atpakaļ. We'll cut part of that flap off. Mēs samazināt daļu no šī flap off.
Eyeball the route for the cable to travel out of the battery compartment The battery itself is another problem. Acs ābols ceļš kabeli ceļot no akumulatora nodalījuma akumulators pats ir cita problēma. You'll have to cut a notch in the flat metal that sits right above the metal Airport Express flap in order to let the cable out. Jums nāksies samazināt iecirtums ar vienotās metāla, kas atrodas pa labi virs metāla Airport Express atloks, lai ļautu kabelis out.
Cut a notch in the Airport Extreme flap/door to let the cable out of the Airport Extreme slot Start by covering up all the little crevices and cracks with masking tape so that only the little piece of the metal flap is exposed. Cut iecirtums in Airport Extreme flap / durvis ārā no Airport Extreme slot Start kabeli, ko sedz līdz visi maz plaisām, un plaisas ar maskēšanas lentu, lai tikai nelielu sevis metāla atloks ir pakļauta. Take that out with a Dremel using a cutoff wheel, then blow away the filings really well with compressed air. Ņemt, ka veic ar DREMEL izmantojot nogriešana riteni, tad trieciens prom skaidas patiešām arī ar saspiestu gaisu. The flap should close around the internal antenna's connector with it shoved all the way back into the notch it comes out from. Atloks ir cieši ap iekšējās antenas savienotājs ar to shoved visu ceļu atpakaļ iecirtums tā neizdalās no. Unfortunately, the flap probably won't stay put any longer because you just cut off the piece of metal that keeps it in place. Diemžēl, atloks, iespējams, nebūs nemainās ilgāk, jo jūs vienkārši nogriezts gabals no metāla, kas notur to vietā. But that's ok. Bet tas ir ok. Now you need to notch the battery to let the cable out. Tagad jums ir robs akumulatoru let kabelis out.
Cut a notch in the battery itself If you cut a notch in the Airport Extreme flap properly, you should be able to lay the battery down on top of the cable as it snakes out. Cut iecirtums ar akumulatoru pats Ja esat sev iegriezis iecirtums in Airport Extreme atloks pareizi, jāspēj noteikt akumulatora uz leju virs kabeļa, jo tas čūskas out. You can eyeball where you'll need to cut into the Jūs varat acs ābols, kur jums ir sagriezti
battery itself, in the flat piece of metal that sticks out. baterija pati, jo dzīvoklis gabals no metāla, kas sticks out. Mask the battery to prevent filings from getting in anywhere, and hit it with the Dremel using a cut-off wheel. Maska akumulatoru, lai novērstu skaidas no iegūt jebkur, un nospiediet to ar DREMEL Izmantojiet nogrieztu riteni.
Fit it all together Getting it all back together can be a little bit of a trick. Fit to visu kopā Getting to visu atpakaļ kopā var būt mazliet triks. The problem is that the original internal antenna connector juts out just a bit too much, and I feel comfortable notching neither the connector nor the part of the battery that hits it. Problēma ir tā, ka sākotnējā iekšējās antenas savienotājs juts veic tikai mazliet pārāk daudz, un es justos ērti ierobošanu ne pieslēguma, ne daļa no akumulatoru hits to. It's so close that you can just tightly tape the connector back in it's little nook, tape the flap shut, and drop the battery down with a little bit of jiggling. Tas ir tik tuvu, ka jūs varat vienkārši cieši lente Connector atpakaļ tas maz kakts, lentes Pārlaidums slēgtas, un nometiet akumulatoru uz leju ar mazliet jiggling. Voila! Voila! You've hooked up an external antenna! Jūs esat saliekts līdz ārējo antenu! Now you realize the cable is thicker than the gap under the Powerbook. Tagad tu saproti, kabelis ir biezāks nekā atšķirības saskaņā ar PowerBook. You need to put new feet on the bottom that raise the whole thing up about 4mm or so. Jums nepieciešams ieviest jaunas kājas uz grunts, kas paaugstina visa lieta ir apmēram 4mm vai arī tā.
I snagged some feet from the bottom of a Sonicwall Firewall that was being rackmounted, but you can improvise with anything that suits you, and Radioshack usually has some stick-on feet that will work. Es snagged daži no apakšas Sonicwall ugunsmūris, kas tika rackmounted kājām, bet var improvizēt ar jebko, kas ir piemērots jums, un Radioshack parasti ir dažas Stick-on kājām, kas darbosies. Now just stick some stick-on velcro on the back of the antenna to mount it to the display. Tagad tikai stick daži Stick-on velcro par aizmugurē antenas uzstādīt to uz displeja. You can substitute any antenna you want, provided it's designed for wi-fi usage. Jūs varat aizstāt jebkuru antenu, ko vēlaties, ja tas ir paredzēts wi-fi lietošanu. However, just about anything will perform better than the stock antenna! Tomēr, tikai par kaut ko veiks labāk nekā krājumu antenu!
