It's not a great grate. Not even really functional as there's too many holes for dust to pass thru, which is the reason to have one in the first place

Maybe I'll work on a spiderweb design

I made it out of carbon fiber cuz, well, honestly, that's what was already loaded in the printer and I was too lazy to change it. Besides, the cf prints detail SOO nice. It's a little finicky to work with, but, it's also good with heat, and I figured that this might get a little warm, so...

So I installed that

Upside down

Then I thought about it for a minute and realized that that probably wouldn't have the desired effect, so I turned it over

Yaknow, this thing didn't come with a grate ?

A 6 inch x 8 inch box for a 40mm fan, and they didn't have room for a 1.5 inch square piece of screen ?

I guess I'll have to print one

That made a difference

Link Quality=52/70 Signal level=-58 dBm

Obviously I didn't break anything while connecting these wires with a microscope and pliers

Yea okay... I guess it's time to temporarily shut the thing down and attempt to connect these tiny little itty bitty teeny weeny antenna wires

Not a chore I'm looking forward to

Thanks  a lot, great data on this. Will plug it in next weekend!

Sir intel AC8265 i got but antenna is still not shipped and today i get a message shipment is lost !!! From amazon !!

If i do not install an antenna will it work on at least for using wifi near a router?

 

Yup (see my previous post with actual data)

I got mine from Amazon, and it was $23 (not cheap) and it says "Intel (R) 8265NGW" on it, but it also says "Made In China", which doesn't always mean anything I guess, cuz Intel probably outsourced stuff (until recently anyway)

It worked perfectly right out of the box, but then, like I said, the signal doesn't have to go that far right now...

Hmm...

Okay, I just ran this command on the jetbot

iwconfig wlan0 | grep -i --color quality

And got this output...

Link Quality=36/70 Signal level=-74 dBm

Then I unplugged the upstairs AP and ran that command again, and got this...

Link Quality=24/70 Signal level=-86 dBm

Which seems wierd cuz link quality went down, which would be expected, but, dBm went UP

Anyway, I think it works well, but, I don't have a known Chinese knock-off to compare it to, unless it IS a Chinese knock-off, in which case, it still works well

If i do not install an antenna will it work on atleast for using wifi near a router?
