While I was in the process of taking apart my Toshiba Portege M400, I accidentally snapped the primary antenna cable. Is it safe to just plug in the aux cable to the primary connector on the card?

Yes, it’s safe.

It's possible the wireless card will work properly with just two wires connected. If the main wire is damaged, it still should work fine with the auxiliary wire. You can try different wire configurations. Connecting a "wrong" wire shouldn't damage anything. @ Lee,

I was replacing the WLAN card on my Dell xps m1330 as I took the white antenna wire off, despite my most careful efforts, it broke off part of the receptacle on the existing WLAN card.
This also damaged the end of the antenna wire.
Can i use any of the other antenna wires on the new card instead?

I was replacing the WLAN card on my Dell xps m1330 as I took the white antenna wire off, despite my most careful efforts, it broke off part of the receptacle on the existing WLAN card. This also damaged the end of the antenna wire. Can i use any of the other antenna wires on the new card instead? There are 2 groups of 3 wires. Black, white, black and white And Blue, white (broken), black and white Will any other combo work? Thanks for the help Hey I’m hoping someone here can help me cause I’m kind of up a creek without a paddle.

By the way, one antenna is the main one and another one auxiliary. @ David,

At work my laptop does get WiFi, but the signal strength is always low and tends to kick in and out.
