A pretty easy DIY with great results.
Once you're in, you want to remove the chip antenna by de-soldering. Once you've heated the old solder enough to remove the chip, you want to then replace it with a new antenna. In this example they've used a makeshift SMA adapter and then stripped down an antenna cable to attach to it. Antenna cables are quite fragile so it's worth being careful with these steps.
At this point, rafii6312 notes that the old dongle case no longer fits well, so they've 3D printed a new one but you might not need to go through this step depending. They did upload the files to the project so you can grab them if you need. The end look is a slightly bigger USB dongle with a huge antenna sticking out of it, which is perfect for plugging into a back port on your PC.
Once done, rafii6312 reported a huge improvement from this new larger antenna. Where they previously couldn't go 8 metres away without it beeping about losing connection, now they're roaming freely around their house up to three rooms away without trouble. That's a great improvement for ten minutes of their time, plus a little 3D printing thrown in.you can get when it comes to spatial audio.
