Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I had taken the RTL8852AE out to put in a different card.  But I can't get the antennas to connect to the card's pins.  I'm giving up on that if I can find a USB Wifi/BT combo adapter.  Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Hi:

It is very hard to reattach the antenna wires.

 

You have to center the connectors over the wifi card's terminals and carefully press down and the coupling will snap on over the terminal.

 

Check the Realtek card you removed and make sure you didn't break the terminals off it when you removed the antenna wires from the card.

 

It happens from time to time.

 

If you broke the terminals off inside the wires, you would have to use a jeweler's loupe and some small tools such as a strong pin, needle nose pliers, to gouge the broken terminals out of the antenna wire connectors.

 

This is the only dual band USB Wi-Fi/Bluetooth adapter that I know of...

Thanks Paul. I've done these cards several times in the past.  But, this is the worse.  I have a Intel Killer card to put in.  The Realtek is junk.  I had looked at the one on Amazon.  I was concerned about the wifi speed - 600 Mbps.  The Realtek is 867.  I'm not sure about the Killer.  I'll keep trying, maybe I'll luck out.  I do the scrapping on the pins too.  Thanks, Al
