Just managed to recover my WRT160N from being bricked, and decided to mod the router since warranty is gone...

There are 2 tiny antennas on the PCB. And they are soldered on to the right top side of the PCB. The solder points for the antennas are considerably large and easy to solder even for beginners.

I ripped 2 RP-SMA connectors from 2 old aironet bridges and soldered them onto the PCB. Took 2 old linksys antenna and plugged them in.

I have not substantiated if the coverage is better yet, but preliminary tests shown consistency over a further distance.

It works very well.
