I recently pulled this At&T antenna out of a trash can and it does what it is supposed to do. The problem with it is the horrible range! So I opened it up and found this connector (well I think it is a connector). Does anyone know an after market antenna I can hook up to this card?





Sorry for the blurry pics, to lazy to pull out real camera :)
 
What do you mean by 100 insertion cycles?

Any chance I can solder on another one? I really want to use this for a wireless google calendar across my house, but my wi-fi doesn't reach well enough to be fast enough for me.

Plugging the connector in and unplugging is 1 insertion cycle.
They're not very durable so if you were to use it, you want a pigtail (secured to the board) with a durable connector on the other end, RP-SMA for example.

edit; or replace it with a surface mount connector.
