Motherboard came with no antennas

[ryanmate543]

Picked up a Gigabyte b650m gaming wifi motherboard off ebay but the wifi antennas were missing. Found these on amazon https://www.amazon.com.au/, and just wondering if these are the ones to go for, or if there are antennas that will provide better performance. Living in Australia speeds are only at 100mbps download so no need for anything crazy, but i don’t want to be dropping below the max

Yup, they look fine.

if those were actually 8dbi, theyd have an elevation beam width of like 15 degrees lmao, better hope youre on the same floor as the access point.
but really, amazon is amazon and without a datasheet, you can assume its junk that barely works to any spec anyway.

at the end of it if you are close enough to your router, in the same room or maybe one wall over, it doesnt matter what you use for antennas.
the wifi built onto the board will be the limiting factor.

You're much better off getting ones with wires on the end, so you can place it on top of the PC for better reception.   There are usually people selling them on eBay as they are common to come provided with higher-end motherboards.

Thanks, I’ve gone ahead on ordered those ones earlier today and I’m pretty close to my router, but if performance isn’t great i’ll definitely look for one of these.
