Hello,

I have an Intel 6300 wireless card. I used to have 2 antennas connected to it. Today, I manually added another TYCO antenna. so it should use all 3 now.

When I check my connection status in the Intel PRO/SET tool, it still says "Number of antennas in use: 2". I tried from different locations also.
Is there a way I should configure it or turn it on somehow..?

Unfortunately, I can't attach a screenshot..

Also for some reason it says Band: 802.11g, while it's definitely N and it gives me a speed of 300Mpbs.. but the amount of antennas in use is my main concern!

Thanks.
