Product: Pavilion a6700y
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista (64-bit)

I managed to disconnect the external antenna lead from the wireless adapter while cleaning the computer.

it appears that there may be two possible locations to reconnect the lead (looks like a push on connector on the end of the antenna wire) to the adapter.

Any information would be appreciated. 

Thank you !

Hi:

 

There is probably a Main and an Aux terminal.

 

Here is a picture of the adapter on your PC's support page.

 

Look at the orientation and copy what you see here would be the only suggestion I can offer, or get up close to it and the terminals may be labeled on the circuit board.

 

With one antenna, you want to connect to the Main terminal.
