antennaboard

enter image description hereI'm looking to add an external antenna and I want to find out I add the antenna using a Mini PCI U.FL to RP-SMA Antenna WiFi Cable Signal Connector Network Adapter I got off of ebay to a Trendnet Range Extender. I'm a total newb and need help identifying what #1 is, what #2 is, and really what else I might need to know to get this working. Thanks!!!!![enter image description here]2

1 is a ceramic chip antenna (Datasheet/App note for similar/generic chip antenna). Instead of a wire or pcb trace antenna (or some other type), a chip antenna allows a manufacturer to avoid lengthy testing by using a 3rd party dedicated part.

2 looks like a u.fl connector, but the picture is blurry, can't be sure.

Update: Another question has the answer to the connector. It's a switched connector. See the answer to What connector is similar to U.FL but has no pin?
