Hi:

 

See this discussion...it will be a gamble to install any different wifi card in your notebook...

I have not heard back from the other forum members that have asked this question as to whether or not they installed the card I recommended and if it worked or not.

 

As far as adding a second antenna, that would be a complete waste of time, effort and money to install a second antenna if the only card I can think of that has any possibility of working, doesn't work in your notebook.
