wifi antenna?

[Esther]

Hello,

I am using an external USB wifi antenna with the swarm. Does anyone know how to tell if the device is using that antenna or is still using its internal wifi antenna?

Hi Esther,

Type the command iwconfig and send what the output looks like. After wlan you should see the chip brand of your dongle.

Hi Ian and thank you!  I have attached the screenshot of the config output.  I don't see any indication of the dongle brand.  Can you take a look at the screenshot and tell me if it looks like it's just using the internal antenna??  Thank you!
