But why you want to remove the antenna...?

It dont have a removable antenna but you can remove the same by opening the router and remove it.

1.
Purpose of removing the antenna Not clear.
If you need to restrict the signals, you can Rotate the unit
with Antenna parallel to the ground.
Better to disable WLAN in your Network.
2.IF
you plan to add some other powerful Antenna
for greater range, will need the help of an electronic
(Radio/TV ) mechanic/technician/engineer,
to remove the Base socket.

Guarantee for the unit ( even by BSNL) will be voided
cancelled.

Scrolling the page is tiresome .
Reduce the picture size. to fit page.

PCB board layout can be reduced to
just show Antenna cable inside.

How many will/can open their router ? and DIY ?

He is asking how to remove the antenna, reasons unknown, now when he is asking this question for sure he is not a layman (if i am not wrong), so hoping he can unscrew the router with screwdriver... and DIY

thanks guys....yeah i wanna put some high-range antenna in place of original one. but as ur saying it voids warranty i think i'm gonna leave it. actually i don't get enough signals with it.

Any other way to increase its signal strength?

thanks a lot guys for ur inputs.

No problem.
Now, whether you want to increase the range to 14th floor of of your apartment complex or to a nearby house 500 meters away, we don't know.
Whether you are in a Farm house with lot of open space, or in a
housing complex with all concrete high rise buildings. around.

I hate asking too many questions , like a lawyer.
I am also not a jotish/astrologer to guess your setup !
I cannot assume yours
and spend time scanning photos, upload
it and repost it here. ( wasted effort by @deepmohan)

Sorry. Without proper information
from now on , I will leave it to others
to take up the thread., who are more knowledgeable
and experienced. and can give one line solutions.!

I am only a learner here,and hope to learn more solutions.
