Having a Dell Inspiron N5030 with a mini pci-e wifi DNXA-95-01 Atheros AR9285 with only one onboard antenna connector that was going at 65Mbps and refused to connect at McDonalds wifi for the rare time I go there.
I had a Realtek RTL8191SE laying around from a dead Toshiba somebody gave me. Equipped with two onboard antenna connectors since the Toshiba had black and white antennas wires.
Strange thing is that my N5030 have only one black wire and when connected to the wifi where the black is usually connected in Toshiba it go down to 12Mbps and capt only couple feets around. So I swapped the black connector onto the white one and now I capt all neighbors around with a 72Mbps for me.
