ASUS Z77 PRO: How to secure antenna into MB?

[Alaa]

I am trying to connect my wireless antenna to the module on the motherboard and I have pushed as hard as I can but it just doesn't secure inside. How do I connect it properly?

It just pushes straight in and latches, it does NOT screw in (I thought it did at first) - mount the module to the motherboard with the screw, then push antenna in.

I've tried pushing it inside for hours but it just doesn't secure inside and slips off easily with any touch.

So you have the Pro, which has a single white antenna, right? Little gold connector?

You installed the WiFi module into the motherboard and screwed it in place? Mine went in once I realized it doesn't screw in.

Yes, I have the pro gold connector. The module is installed correctly. I think If I try to push it harder I might risk damaging the module.

Dunno, on mine, I just tried connecting it, I feel a positive lock when I push it in lightly. Contact ASUS.

Sorry to go off topic, but does the wifi module asus includes support 5.0ghz operation?

Z77 PRO is only 2.4GHz. If you want dual band then go with the DELUXE.

Anyone elses atenna cord fall out easy? I feel it lock, but it's so tiny that any movement of the cord knocks it out. It's pretty annoying.

Mine seems to be fine (for now), but then I have it placed somewhere that it shouldn't get knocked anyway.

Mine doesn't slip at all now after replacement.
