  • Wireless Antenna

    Thanks for the teardown, Bill. Where is the antenna for the 802.11 wireless? There appears to be a small circular connector on the wireless board but it looks like the thermal pad goes right over that. Is the antenna built into the main PCB?

    Is the outside case plastic or aluminum?

    What are the interior component parts of the remote? the remote looks like the body is a single piece.
