Since you will need to remove the existing cables anyway, measure them and then order accordingly.  That said, the chances of damaging something when you disassemble the display assembly are high enough, if you don't want to solder a new lead on the antenna, you may be better off simply purchasing a USB wifi adapter. You're going to be dismantling an assembly with plastic that is 10 years old -- the chances you'll damage something are not insignificant.  
While reassembling my AW17 R3 I did damage my Wifi card pins and their antenna cables. It was a chance to upgrade the old card with a new one (Intel AX200). Now I am facing many choices to replace the old damaged antenna cables but I do not know if they are all ok to go with: 1- Buying any new antenna cable from amazon (Assuming it is just standard for any laptop) 2- Buying used AW17 R3 cable (Assuming it is specific for AW17 R3) 3- Buying any AW antenna cable (Assuming they are specific for AW laptops in general) 4- Trying to replace the damaged coaxial terminals of the cables with new coaxial terminals What is the best solution? and is there a choices should I avoid?
