- trevyn 7y agoFun fact: If the signal is reasonably strong, Wi-Fi will sometimes still work even with the antenna disconnected.
- leni536 7y agoI guess it's much less likely if the exposed antenna connector is properly terminated.
- sjwright 7y agoOr maybe grounding it? I bet if you mash a little ball of tinfoil into the connector, any residual chance of it working will evaporate.
- leni536 7y agoWho knows? This could make a nice little experiment. 1. Leave the antenna connected 2. Unplug the antenna, leave the connector unterminated. 3. Terminate the connector with ball of tinfoil. 4. Use a proper impedance matched termination. 5. Terminate with a proper impedance as close to the wifi chip as possible 5./b Also cut the antenna trace on the PCB as close to the chip as possible Measure signal strength in all scenarios.
