I wanted to upgrade the wifi adapter in my laptop from intel 2230 to a 6235 but when I got the adapter I realized the antenna contact on the new adapter is smaller so the antenna wires wont connect. where can I find the right female contacts.

Hello mj67,

Thank you for joining the Intel communities.

Maybe you will be able to find it in eBay or any other online reseller like best buy etc but I'm not sure.

At this point for you to find the best support for your system it will be with your laptop manufacturer as they are more familiar with your system and how all the components interact with each other and also they will be able to tell if the WIFI adapter you purchase will be compatible with your system.

Best wishes,

Ivan
