Mod IPEX1 antennas for BCM943602CDP #12

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

Wifi and bluetooth are working, but the reception is very bad.

I wasn't able to connect the existing antenna to the BCM943602CDP due to connector size difference. Did you use adaptors or add external antennas?

Hi @jacealot, I used to have the same issue. The original antennas on NUC are using IPEX4 connector while the BCM943602CDP is using IPEX1. Thus, I completely removed the original ones and replaced them with four IPEX1. However, it's worth mentioning that the quality of the signals (for both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are NOT as well as the original ones.
