Whilst i was moving my pc one of the antenna on my wireless card has completely snapped off, i am left with a stick with wire in it and the screw on connector, the wire is snapped at the base.

Ive tried looking around to find the same antenna to replace it but no where seems to be selling any that are the same. Buying another card would cost me around £51 (Amazon price) which i cant afford to be spending for just an antenna replacement. Please help !

You're being bilked (as we Americans say) because 1. you're shopping on 'Scamazon,' and 2. you haven't realized that it's just a lousy 2/3 dBi omnidirectional antenna designed to thread on RP-SMA female connectors. You can get that from eBay, AliExpress, etc. for 2 quid or less. And you may as well improve the antenna's gain while you're at it. Since the PCE-N53 doesn't do 802.11ac, you don't even need to pay for a dual band antenna as a replacement. Look at the link below, you can order one via ePacket from China with 9 dBi, 11 dBi, or even 16 dBi of gain for less than £5.

Just to reiterate, you don't need to find an identical model of that cheap rubber duck antenna that Edimax used when sourcing components for Asus. And honestly, for...
