Antenna on Dahua Doorbell DB10

[Makinarg 1]

Hello Everyone, 

I was wondering if you could give me some advice on how to modify the following device. It is a Dahua Doorbell DB10. The range of this doorbell is very limited, which creates a lot of latency problems due to the weak wifi connection. 

Perhaps it would have been better to get an antenna extension for the WIFI router, but since I cannot drill the wall to place the antenna facing outside, this was my last option. My idea is to get a cable to solder to the places the antenna was soldered and then connect it to the antenna of a broke router or perhaps build a directional antenna.

If you could be so gentle to inform me, what materials should I use to connect the device with the new antenna:

- Cable RG? LMR? what type?

Any type of information will be much apreciated. 
 

I should weld a piece of the cable from one side to the other, and then from that same side to the antenna, correct?

 

 

Here i took apart the antenna that was inside the device.

It's a PIFA antenna (low gain)...Check continuity ...but i think cable (50ohms shorter you can) goes like this

Try with a DIPOLE

Thank you Clanon, I just read in another post that it should be a RG-174 cable.

Now, onto welding the cable, I should weld the copper inner part to the left arrow and the mesh ( that would be ground, correct?) to the place where it is the right arrow. Did I understood it correctly?

Like in this case: 
 

OR LIKE THIS ONE:

 

right?

Yellow ring is SHIELD (GND) (careful with those hairs, make a ring with solder) RED line is inner WIRE...50ohms feed point

Thank you Clanon. I will do this project soon an post about it. Thank you for your help.

GND would have continuity to any of those IC EMI  SHIELDS (aluminum tin  covering circuits) that's COAXIAL SHIELD (MESH) GND...just to be sure...
