Some wireless antennas are on connectors, and are thus easily replaced.
Others are not. See if you can disconnect the antenna(s). Check the
documentation for the type of connector. And/or give us the make &
model and we may be able to help.

Even if you can't disconnect antenna(s), reflector(s) may be another
option with a lot of gain. Picture:
