{This is on the Acer Aspire One}
So I just got my new LCD top cover plastic body piece from Kevin at SourceITs. I was surprised to see that it also came with the hinge, microphone, WiFi antennae, and RF shield.
My question is if I can use the extra antennae in any way to boost my signal. It has the white wire and the black wire. Could I splice these into the current wires so that I have 2 of each?
Thanks in advance!

i dont know if that will work. If you look at the antennae, the antennae are usually just a wire which is either connected to a screw on the inside of the lid, or the small metal brackets which house the latches.
Lengthining the cable may help, but I doubt splicing it will.
You may loose a lot of the signal strength from splicing the wire.

Sony uses two antennas in the G series - so its possible.
But if its two connected wires then they are connected for a reason. -
Splicing will actually ruin your signal since the power has to then be split between two antennas. You are better off using a larger antenna or making something to focus the signal.
Using more WiFi attennae for stronger signal?
