Sure, understood.

 

As suggeted initially, I could always just connect the one cable to one socket and see what gives.

I think your notebook does have two antennas, but I can pretty much guarantee you that if it only has one, the wifi performance will be very poor with only one antenna.

 

That's if the card picks up a signal at all. 

 

Or the bluetooth won't have a signal.   Something will not be good.

Hi

 

I don't dis-agree.

 

But for tranmission I always believe in a 'tuned' aerial.

 

Quick look up...  2.4 GHz is 125 millimetre, and 5.0 GHz is 60 millimetre wave lengths.

 

So it can matter.

 

But I frequently get enough egg on face to be permanently wearing an omelette.
