I've installed an intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210 M.2 card into my Dell Precision 3660.

It came with two white wire antennas.  I was not sure how to place the antennas for best operation.  They seem to be weak on signal.  Is there another antenna available with instructions for placement?

Here is the service manual with instructions for WLAN removal/installation  https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/precision-3660-workstation/prec_3660t_sm/removing-the-wlan-card?guid=guid-4162f0eb-cd1a-4276-a231-000ab0698863&lang=en-us

Note that there are two wires, one black, one white.  The antenna leads are attached to metal surface on the case and the whole chassis acts as signals receivers.  If you get weak signals, check to ensure both of the antenna connectors firmly connected to the Wifi card.  Or, swap the antenna leads around between black and white for testing.

For stronger signals, users can use external antenna connecting to a PCIe adapter.
