Im not sure about the range but i have used a 16db wifi antenna without any issues.
no need for any extra connectors, just unscrew the stock antenna and screw in the new one.
May i know what application are you expecting a better range for?

I believe the stock antenna is ample enough. go for a change only if you couldnt get any usable signal and please mind the limitations of hobby grade equipment.

be aware that your tx output power remains the same!

I found the stock antenna really sluggish Sad

I m aware of the limitations of hobby grade equipment...and wont even think about doing any thing stupid as we all are already in a big mess Bang Head Bang Head



if the tx output power remains the same...then I wonder what's the difference between 2db antenna and 5 db antenna...

if  I decide to use the 5db antenna.?  what will be the difference?

Presumably a rock crawler is going to move slowly.....

If you are into DIY try out a Yagi antenna .... This will give you a boost in range

http://www.instructables.com/id/Easy-to-Build-WIFI-24GHz-Yagi-Antenna/


or if you prefer to buy .... then the following is better than a whip

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__20108__2_4Ghz_7DB_Antenna_for_FrSky_Modules_And_compatible_Radios_Modules_.html

be aware that both these are directional ... i.e you have to point in the general direction
of the receiver
