Momo11 Bird wifi range fix

Having this problem also.
Very frustrating, can you advise on best way to open the Bird ?
Are you now getting full wifi signal ? Concerned about doing damage when opening this up.
Thanks for any advice.

Opening the bird was pretty easy, after taking out the 2 screws on the side with all the ports, I used a couple of flat jewellery screwdrivers. There are small holes every 3cm in the edge of the backing. Lever 1 of these, slightly lift the black edge and the next one pops open. Be careful of the short speaker wires.
I was more worried about the flimsy plastic antenna thats stuck pretty hard to the back of the screen. I was able to lift it from the material on the edge of the screen, then luckily, was able to pull it off the back of the screen without it breaking.
It was well worth the effort, I can now use the Tablet anywhere in my house rather than just the room with the router.

Good luck

OMG
Not for the faint hearted.
BUT - it has worked, now getting 4 bars, where only 2 previously.
My antenna was a bit different, from your photo above' so took me a while to figure that bit out.
Thanks for the help.

after doing surgery on the antenna the signal is stable but it wont go beyond 2 bars. can u guys post the pic after the surgery?

thanks.

funny that i stick the antenna to the side of the cover of the tablet the wifi does not go beyond 2 bars.

Hi, I was googling for a fix for this problem and came up with your post, so gald i did just done the mod.
Moved to 3 bars from 2 with steady signal in the green area of my WI-FI meter.
Thank you so much

Thanks for this fix and photo. The photo's on the Spanish link are great. I've managed to complete the alteration and now have 5 bars near the router and at least 2 throughout the house! This changes the Momo11 from a decent bit of kit with a bit of a flaw, to a fantastic bit of kit with little to fault it. If only this was shipped as a European package with the Rom setup for European/US markets it would be perfect.

I can't find any screws on my tablet, lol

Wi-fi reception is BAD, I want to try this...

As zjed said, there are '2 screws on the side with all the ports'. They are tiny screws and you'll need a small screwdriver to unscrew them, but if you look closely they definitely should be there.

They are also indicated in the first photo on the Spanish forum HERE

Yes, I just figured out that MOMO11 Bird and the Eken A90 that I have aren't all the same even sharing FWs. My tablet doesn't have any screws, unfortunately.

Well maybe the back cover is just held on by similar clips to the Momo11 so you can carefully remove it in the same way?

I gave this a go but couldn't get the back off, I was worried it was going to break. My Wifi is really unstable in the same room as the router. I get 2 bars, and its always dropping and failing to reconnect.

I can't seem to pop the back off like on the Spanish forum. The screws come out nice and easily, but I can't get the rim off. Any advice?

It's not as easy as it looks on the spanish forum Dooza but at the same time the back of the momo is pretty strong you just need to be carefull of the speaker cables when u get it open! If you have a precision screwdriver set use a really flat head to pry open the case and move around the edge slowly you will get it open!

I find the best small screwdrivers are sold here in the UK as 'watchmakers' screwdrivers. There's usually two or three cross head and three straight edge drivers in a box. They are quite inexpensive.

I also found that for removing the case on laptops and tablets (also an Acer Revo) that a small plastic knife works a treat. These are the types you get with picnic sets and also with airline food.
