Extension Cord for WMP300N?

[Michael48304]

Hi, I just purchased the WMP300N, it's working great, except for the fact that the antenna does not have a very long cord, which makes it difficult to get it very high off the ground, which ends up with a mediocre connection.  Since this has 3 seperate connectors, will this cause extension cord issues?  Can I just buy 3 seperate 10 foot extension cords and connect it to each one, or is there an extension cord with 3?

Thanks for the help!

What you can do is to use Antenna with External cord connected to the back of the Adapter ..... make sure that all three extension cord should be near by to each other ....

Let me know if any other issue ....

hi, i'm having the same issue descripted above for the WRT300N wireless adapter, i have mi pc about 35 meters away from the router ang the signal has to pass thru 3 walls which reduces the speed to half the capacity and signal strength, and because the cable it's too short i can't place it higher nor safe, i will be happy if an extension cord for the antenna is released, also a driver that passed the windows "xp" logo testing would be great, i dont like the fact that WRT300N passes windows logo testing for vista and not for xp.................i need an antenna extension cord

Where can I buy an extension cable for the Wireless-N PCI adaptor antenna?

well as i know, this type of cable is not on sale, i got tired of looking 4 it, and by the way, if it is the wmp300n, or similar w/o the windows testing logo please, don't use it, i got 2 motherboards toasted, and 2 more that didn't work at all, because of this wireless adapter, that was dissapointing, b'cuz the adapter has good strength, but as i said , if it doesn't have the "windows logo testing" passed, pls,  do not use it, or ur pc its gonna get screwed

I agree the supplied cable for the WMP300N is too short. I have my PC under my desk and the antenna on top of the desk. Every time I try to move my PC around I end up dropping the antenna. I got in touch with Cable To Go and apparently they can provide a 1.5 feet or a 15 feet extension (I'm not sure why the 1.5 or 15 feet only options) and I'm awaiting their response as far as prices and ordering info. Having said that and considering that I'm not an electronic expert, I believe the 15 feet cable might be a little too long, increasing the resistance, which might have an impact on the signal. On the other hand, you'll be able to place the antenna closer to the router, which will have a positive impact. I guess you can always try. 

 As for the WMP300N, I know this is not part of this thread, but I've owned mine for over a year and have worked wonderfully.  

P.S. If anyone needs info about the cables or drivers for the WMP300N, let me know.

Here's the info about the cables; beware, they are not cheap!

1.5ft Wi-Fi RP-SMA Male to N-Type Female Cable

15ft Wi-Fi N-Type M/M Cable

Note that you can buy the cable and connectors and make your own extension, but it'll cost you as well.

For those who may be interested; I just ordered three 12-feet extension cables for the WMP300N for a total of $45.52. This was an email custom order through http://universalweb.com/CustomCablesUSA/index.html; everything was done through email. You can send them an email, tell them what you need, they'll send you a quote and if you agree with the price they'll send you a PayPal invoice...just that simple.
