is it possible to move built-in wifi antennas off of the back panel of a motherboard to inside the pc case

Mike6m · Oct 7, 2015

I built a small pc in a 8 inch acrylic cube and my motherboards wifi stick out to far to close the box i am look for 90 degree adapters if i cant find one i was wondering if there is a way i can unhook the wifi port from the back panel and move them else where

Edit

motherboard ( MSI A68HI AC FM2+ AMD A68H 4 x SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Mini ITX AMD Motherboard)

the case is just an 8inch acrylic box

You could post your motherboard model here just in case, but I'm fairly confident that moving the built-in wifi port wouldn't end with a working wifi.

you can use something like this to move the antenna to some other part of the desk. inside the case however there will be a lot of interference. if you have a case with holes in the back for the water cooler tubes you can use that and a cable like this.

A lot of cases are grounded. As such - it essentially becomes a Faraday cage(sending any wireless signals to ground), and would prevent the wireless signal from reaching the antenna
