    Hello Reecek

     

    If you able to use WIFI instead of LAN it will work just fine but if your looking to have LAN ports you would need to get the Netgear Aircard cradle this gives the card Ethernet slots. You can also tether with usb to the computer if you cant use wifi.

Ah, the usb will connect to it, that is good, I don't have to get a wi-fi card installed.

Thanks for the help Darren, any idea about using the old antenna?
