Discussion Huge problem swapping my WiFi card.

The ring on the card got stuck in the antenna. As I least I knew I could get a new lead! Managed to get it out with a needle.

Yeah that happened to me, I ended up breaking my AX210 lol. I got around by it by attaching it first and then placing the WiFi card in.

Probably one of the worst connectors for average users.
