Replace wifi antenna

WD External Drives My Passport Wireless
1

Hello,

just swapped the internal 3TB HDD for a 2GB SSD. The small antenna on the on / off switch has loosened. now i’m thinking about swapping this antenna for a stronger model. could be gladly placed on the outside.
it looks like easy to solder off and on. only problem, most antennas are dual band. but 2.4 and 5 GHz are separated on the board.
Does anyone have an idea?
I imagine that the connection problems could disappear as a result

Best regards
Matt
