Zte | Mc801a Antenna Mod

This is the most delicate step.

SMA connectors provide significantly higher mechanical strength than TS9. zte mc801a antenna mod

The TS9 sockets are small, surface-mounted components soldered directly to the motherboard. They are prone to snapping or shearing off under minimal pressure. This is the most delicate step

Perhaps the most critical metric for stability is SNR. Even if your Signal Strength (RSRP) looks okay, a poor SNR will result in dropped packets and high jitter (ping spikes). External antennas generally have higher gain and better directionality, which significantly improves SNR, leading to a smoother gaming and streaming experience. which significantly improves SNR

This mod voids your warranty and requires soldering skills. If you bridge two pads or rip a trace, you will brick your router. Proceed at your own risk.
