I replaced the antenna and better signal.

Warning: Remove your micro sd before you start this process.

I broke my sd card and damaged the socket.

My own fault, but just worth a warning.

I finally broke down and took mine apart and installed the antenna from Ebay that I got. I get no change in signal strength, still only two bars despite the wireless router being 10 feet away. Disappointing.

That sucks, did you buy the last ebay link I posted? Only ten feet away that's bad, perhaps a new fancy wireless router is in your future, unless your walls are painted with lead paint. What was the DB levels before the new antenna?
