The new ethernet cable you will order will solve it.
If you want to fix the antenna and connections then to fit the wireless card in, or a replacement one.
Cutting it back you will need to extend the antenna cables to the needed length and then to do this.
Can use 2 connectors, solder at the old cable and the new cable, between this it is a joiner connector screened, each side push into that and then they screw together each one over joiner, I have this type of joiners and also joiners that are adapters between antennas on the mobile kit for wifi.
Then solder the connectors at end of cable for the card.
Repeat for other cable.

I ordered a flat S/FTP cable from ebay, will arrive in a few days. Untill then i can either use my phone (usb tethering) or use a old cat 5 cable.
I didnt look good and thought i ordered the cat 6 cable but it is actually a cat 7 cable, no problem, price was 11,99 euro and free shipping from Jersey

Good to read you have the cable on its way. :)
I haven't used cat 7, it says they also use the cat 7 for wiring smart homes.

For me a cat5, cat5e or cat6/6a would have worked as fine. Even the cat 5 cable i use now reaches download speed of 150Mbit.
But at leat i am prepared for the future :)

I just hooked the laptop up to a cat 7 cable, was cheaper.

Just a thought but maybe ask the kids at the Solydx forum if they have a connection to get Panda products to the Netherlands.

For me the wired solution works. The laptop is always at the same place, hasnt moved since i got it. So a cable isnt a problem, and it only did cost me 13 euro. Speed is good, 200Mbit/secdownload
