I purchased a U.FL SMD connector through ****, and a Nintendo DS Wifi Antenna from DX.com
Desoldered the Original antenna (Which actually looks pretty damn pathetic) and soldered on the new U.FL connector, and attached the Nintendo DS WiFi Antenna...
And Voila. That's pretty much it at this same distance, my UG802 would pull 1 Bar to 2 Bars of Signal Max, but with this mod, I'm sitting at a Good Full Bar, fluctuating sometimes down to two. Using Wifi Analyser, I compared with my older results (I don't have a screenshot of before signals) and I got about 10-15 dbi of improvement
So yeah, it's not a costly mod, though it may require some steady hands and patience, as soldering that U.FL SMD in requires you soldering points 0.5mm and lower in size. Certainly worthwhile though!
I hope some of you guys find this mod helpful
