Will 2 of these be ok:

Assuming the mobo has standard connectors (and no reason why not) those antennae will be fine.
Yes, it looks like standard screw on fixings.Quote:

From the pictures the Scan ones look a fair bit shorter - this would make sense as they are also lower gain (5dBi v 8dBi).
Assuming your friend has decent Wifi signal, the Scan ones should be fine.
Bear in mind that a high gain isn't always a good thing, as the gain is at the expense of direction, so you may get dead spots in between the lobes on a higher gain antenna.
So, Scan ones better. I will ask Scan to see how long they are. Ta Guys
Long ones do not always mean a long antenna inside, I knocked one of my Asus AC68U antenna off and it unlipped from the hinge, inside was a stubby 2" antenna.
