Wireless connection on Slimline s7520n

[ Edited ]

As the subject states, I have a Slimline s7520n desktop pc.  I currently have it wired with an RJ45 cable to my router.  I noticed it has what I've found out to be a reverse-polarity SMA female end for a wifi antenna on the back of it.  Does the network adapter installed have wireless b/g capabilities?  Can anyone tell me a good retailer to find such an antenna?

 

My network adapter is a  Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC.  Device Manager also shows USB Wireless 802.11 b/g Adaptor made by Gemtek (I guess it's internal).

 

Also, what is the wireless switch that I need to turn on?  I've looked all over this pc and I can't find a switch.

 

Thanks for your time.

You will need no switch. It should be a male connector on the back of the computer.(threaded)

You will need one this size. http://tinyurl.com/c59nfa It is the same one I use on my S7700N. I had one that was an antenna with a long cable and it was horrible. The one I posted works better and takes up almost zero space and does not get in the way.

Did you find the connection for the wireless antenna?

Yeah, it's on the back, right below the ps/2 mouse port.

 

Thanks again.
