Hi Golden, thx for your experience and your tips. If I do so too do I need special wire or can I reach better performane with usual isolated copper wire.

Thx again

Golden, which version of Teclast X98 plus II did you investigate? Maybe C2D4 is somewhat different from C2D6 in the WiFi part?

Hello, I did my own experiments about antenna, and you can read about them here:

if you didn’t put antenna behind the metal cover, you could get better wi-fi speeds. The good place is on top, where the plastic stripe is.

Thx Veaceslav this will help me a lot for my own tries ???

Andy, sorry, forgot to mention. C2D4 is my model.

Vaeceslav, that’s a really good idea. I was wondering how to have an external antenna which is aesthetically acceptable!

I wanted to point out that this is a pure hardware issue. The fact that you see good signal displayed in Android that doesn’t mean that the connection is good.

The reason is because the displayed signal strength is the received one and the router transmit power is way more powerful compared to any mobile device’s transmit power. The problem appears when you have a strong transmitter(router) and weak transmitter(our tablet):

1. router transmit, but the tablet’s response doesn’t reach back the router, and the router retransmit the same thing over and over again
2. tablet request something, but the router doesn’t receive it

If our tablet’s antenna does not amplify enough, you get drops. The only software fix is to configure the driver to make the chip set the transmit power to maximum-> you will see a hit on battery life.
