Hi! First off want to thank @KNNSpeed for writing the Dell 9560 guide!


Can someone please guide me on the most optimal method of installing the 3rd antenna into the antenna module for use with the DW1830 Wifi card in an XPS 9560?

I purchased the extra antenna that @KNNSpeed recommended from https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MAV4Z2O/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 to use with the DW1830 WIFI Card. The display has been removed from the main chassis of the XPS 9560. I have removed the antenna module and upon examination, I have absolutely no idea how long (or short) the new antenna should be. Should I remove the antenna from the circuit board and solder the end without the connector to some place on the antenna module? Please see the pics attached for what the stock module looks like with the 2 stock antennas as a reference.

Many thanks in advance!
