Passable... I noticed the mistake at 1:40sec where you spun a Phillips bit instead of a Torx bit then caught yourself, and went off and got the right bit. Also those are "Torx" screws, not "Hex".. there is a BIG BIG difference.

Yeah, we actually caught the mistake after the video was already finished but have posted the corrected information and listed all the needed materials on our website.

Thanks for the vid my friend.

I can't seem to get mine to pre-bind though pacifist, however, in the system profiler the airport card says it supports a/b/g/n.

Is this sufficient?

i got the 80211n with 3 antennas on my core duo

works fine.. just connect 1 and 3

[yuu23bakuhatsu]

there's this mac pro version of N with 2 antennas

u can find it in apple store, just ask for the replacement kit

802.11N requiresw 3 aerials so its not really N?

[nycundone]

thanks for the video. question: did you notice a decrease in the signal sensitivity of the WiFi after the switch -- i.e. MacBook not picking weaker signal networks that it picked up with the original card?

How does this work on a MBP Core Duo? Cos surely it only has 2 antennas but 80211n needs 3?
