Nice one. Certainly could be a plan if you already have connectors of a different sort.
Since i have voided the warranty by replacing the firmware as may as well open it up. Is it on all versions this pigtail? What ver. you got?

Will be getting one today from TP.
Will post pics when I have it apart.
Until I find the pigtails I might cut one and solder a N-Connector to it.
Hopefully it won't too nasty on the rf.
Update:
Bugger me, no screws to undo. Just pull and it comes apart.
This sucker is v2, and as you can see, no pigtails so straight solder for me.

the case of WRT54G, the SiGe power stage used in the hardware version 1 and 1.1 does have the saturation (or compression as mentioned in the link by cci[RR]us) problem when pushed above 23 dbm (200 mw), in fact it is not advisable to push the output of the SiGe chip to beyond 20 dbm (100 mw), as the venitlation design is inadequate to handle the extra heat dissipation.""
however, WRT54G hardware version 2.0 and above use the Maxim MX2247 RF power stage which has a maximum output capability of 28 dbm (800 mw) without any saturation problem and is almost noise free up to 500 mw. but the MX2247 has a optimum gain of 17 db (50 times linear gain), and with the maximum output of the Broadcom 4712 chipset's preamp stage limited to 7 dbm (5 mw), the maximum achievable output of the WRT54G through firmware tweak is 24 dbm (251 mw)."
200mW+ , i'm all wet
