For the ones with wifi problems on the TM7; this is a photo manual that a good friend of mine made. I will try to translate te text on the pics as good as possible. The reason for the bad signal is simple: inside the antenna is simply not connected.<\/p>\n

1 – Remove the tape and plastics. Afterwards you will see the whole motherboard.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2 – Plastic and tape that needs to be removed.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3 –\u00a0Be careful when removing the tape. The connector can be damaged easily.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4 –\u00a0Motherboard ready to tweak.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5 –\u00a0GSM, Wifi and GPS (connected to external)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

6 –\u00a0End of antenna and connector.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

7 –\u00a0You can clearly see the connector that we will connect to the GSM or wifi connector on the board.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

8 –\u00a0The TM7 does seem to have an internal GSM antenna. The connection on the outside is not connected to GSM.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

9 –\u00a0The TM7 does seem to have an internal wifi antenna. De connector on the outside is clearly not meant for wifi.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

10 –\u00a0You have 2 possibilities now:
\n1- External to GSM
\n2-External to wifi<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Depending on how you will use the device you will have to choose on what to connect.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

11 –\u00a0In this case we chose to connect wifi. You can easily change this later on.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
