thanks for that!

I've already checked on my notebook but the hypernation mode is switched off. Could that be some BIOS setting? I will see how the hypernation mode works on my desktop. Somewhere I've heard using hypernation is not recommended for some reason. But if there is no other way...

Would this be the right antenna?

My major question would be: could I see an improvement in the speed once I have a better reception or does this just give me a better consistency?

Thanks again!
