701 antenna connector

Want to increase the range of your netbook antenna? PaulDotCom Security has put together a guide for hacking an RP-TNC antenna connector into the side of an Eee PC 701 4G. By performing a little surgery you should be able to find an external antenna that fits your needs with a different pickup pattern or a longer range.

This hack requires not only taking apart the netbook and laying some wire inside,but also cutting some of the plastic, so it’s definitely a warranty-voiding project.

    My day to nitpick - -
    That looks like a rp-sma connector to me -
    I am using my own 701 and rp-sma connector to eyeball the picture with;
    tnc is a noticeably bigger connector. I.E: same size as bnc, except threaded.
    Did the same to my Cloudbook a year ago.
