I did something similar to what you say with a Cisco router with internal antennas and
coudn't get it work better with this external antenna but maybe I did something wrong
with the soldier. I didn't insist too much.
Some boards have a u-fl connector close to the antenna wire. A pigtail u-fl to rp-sma is
another idea to use it.
Good luck :-)

Has anyone modified a router that had non-removable
antennas to add an
attachment for a removable antenna?
I imagine it would require:
- acquire male RP-SMA connector.
- open the router, cut a hole somewhere in the casing, and mount the
male RP-SMA connector there.
- disconnect the wire of a stock antenna and put a wire from that part
of the board to the RP-SMA male.
- close the router.
Doing this, the router keeps its stock antenna(s), but one of them is
disconnected.
I guess there's a question about how much power the radio puts out, to
know what sort of antenna will work... I don't yet know much about those
calculations.
