Hi guys i have a dsktop that has a similar card to this one in the link,
it does have 2 inputs for antenna and one for cable,but it doesn't have the Antennas,signal is very low,i have to lift up the tower in order to receive signal that somewhat some times fails,only has 2 bars.
Wlan .079 MiB sent, and 5.85 MiB received.

my question do i need to get the antenna? thanks in advance.

Uhhhh, why would you think you can use a wireless card that has ports for antennas, and came with antennas, if you don't need them? You need an antenna to receive and transmit RF. Running it without an antenna will cause it not to work, and may very well damage it due to the extremely high SWR from running it without the proper antenna.

Hi guys; new update on the PCI wireless card,i was going through my electronic scrap and found a Bufalo wireless router that i forgot about and came to my surprise it had an antenna just like this one in the pic,i took it out and atached it to the wireless card on one of those antennas input and voila i have almost 90% signal,now i thing it will not fail,
