The Netgear WGT624 comes with a fixed antenna. I'm going to replace it with
a pigtail that has a U.FL connection to the wireless card inside the case,
and a bulkhead connector to the rear of the WGT624 case. Then I'll reattach
the case and get an antenna to attatch.
When done, I'll have a connector of some type, where the stock antenna once
existed. It'll ne a antenna-less router. I'd like to go minimal and first
try a rubber duck type antenna for 2.4Ghz that is the better than the
original.
What type of connector is used on routers from Netgear, and D-Link, that
ship with a removeable antenna, and allow for an external replacement? Maybe
that's the way to attack this problem.
