    repost from alienware

    Due to the frequency differences between wifi and wwan, would it be possible to split the antenna feed to connect it to both the wifi and wwan card. In theory the signals should not interfere with each other.

    thanks

    Can you be more specific about what you are trying to do with this. My hardware on my laptop allows me to pickup wifi and transmit it out for others to pickup and use.

    This depends on what you are trying to do. There is plenty of hardware and software out there to support it.
    1: What is this for.
    2: What operating system is on your computer.
    3: What existing wireless hardware is on your computer.
