Hi,
I noticed that when I connected tr1&tr2 I got very poor to even unusable wifi.
So I connected them to port 1 and 3.
Does anyone else experience this behaviour or does it work for you when you leave out the connector in the middle?
Another question: When I buy and connect an optional third antenna, wouldn't this cause (very minor) problems when this new antenna was of another type or had higher gain than the preinstalled ones? Shouldn't all 3 antennas be of the same type and gain?
I ask because I bought some from oxfordtec and had more errors reported on the AP. This might be of no importance for many of you, but currently I'm having issues with intermittent high delays and many single/multiple retry frames (even without a 3rd antenna, I just think there are more ).

port Main & Aux (leave the middle port alone)
I have 3 antennas though, and my 5300 is working like a champ. -
Seconded, though it might not be marked on all variants, the outer connectors are main/aux. I've yet to see a 3 port card vary from this, not just in laptops either. (seen 4 port cards, but they are dual 2x2 radios)
If either the card or laptop connectors are marked but not with text, usually main/aux are the white or open icon and black or solid icon and the middle is grey or shaded icon.
Wire color isn't so standard unfortunately, since they can mix in bluetooth or WAN modem antennas you might have 5 or 6 total. -
That's really strange then. When I connect the outer ports and leave the middle one, the card isn't working well at all.
Intel 5300/6300 only 2 antennas: which ports do YOU connect them to?
