I recently attempted this external antenna mod with my WHR-G300N V2. I flashed the firmware to DD-WRT v24.

I then purchased 2 x U.FL connector pigtails to SMA connectors and 2 x 7 dBi RP-SMA omni-directional wireless antennas from eBay.

Removing the case of the router was relatively easy with the use of an old credit card as a prying tool; connecting the U.FL connectors was very easy.

I drilled a couple of holes using a bench drill in suitable positions in the router case for the SMA connectors to attach in.

I then securely attached the SMA connectors and screwed on the two anntennas..

Unfortunately it now seems that with the external antenna mod the range of the router is reduced compared to the original internal (stock) anntennas?!

I cannot see that I have done anything wrong in the mod and so I am posting here in the hopes that someone might please advise me as to what to try..

I have a couple of these antennas as spare and I swapped them round with no effect i.e. still a poorer range than the original internal (stock) antennas!

I have taken a couple of pictures to show my work so that you can point out if there are any blindingly obvious errors.

Of course, the antennas could be of poor quality but I am not sure how I can test that as I do not have any of a different type/brand. Could anyone recommend some on eBay please?

Thank you in advance!
