Stabilizing Wi-Fi of ECS LIVA

My ECS LIVA is used as a Wifi router.
The wifi connections would be sometimes disconnected.  I checked the properties of Broadcom 802.11abgn wireless SDIO adpater but the settings of wireless mode such as g-only or channel-fixing were missing.
After some my trials, "BSS PLCP Header > long" on advanced tab improved my wifi conditions.

Logitech diNovo Mini

Recently, I am using diNovo Mini again.  It was perchased about ten yaers ago but not in use for long.  It is very suitable to ECS LIVA or Meegopad-T01 because of its compact size and touchpad although Windows 8.1 Bluetooth Issue needs to be fixed. 

However, the battery of my diNovo mini is already dead due to its oldness.  According to here, this battery is compatible to NOKIA BLB-2 battery, then I ordered.  

Moreover, I maked a usb-charging cable (DC jack 1.4x3.4mm center positive).

 USB provides only 5V though the original AC adapter provides 8V.  But the battery seems to be charged with my usb cable.

FON_FREE_EAP

The newly-updated FON firmware becomes to broadcast the SSID "FON_FREE_EAP", that is secured by WPA-enterprise protocole and unnecessary for the additional web-login.  This secured FON seems to be broadcasted from the fonera collaborated with SoftBank Japan (偽FON, 禿FON).  The official tutorial about FON_FREE_EAP is not disclosed as far as I know.
My setting in windows7.

 WPA-enterprise & AES

User authentication

In windows8.1, WPA-enterprise (not WPA2-enterprise) is missing from the internet connection settings.  Nevertheless, WPA-enterprise profiles can be imported using command line.  I exported this profile from windows7 machine, and imported to windows 8.1 machine (ECS LIVA).  It works fine.

Connectify PRO

I use my ECS LIVA as a wifi router.  NETSH commands and Ineternet Connection Sharing, featured by windows, creates a wireless hosted network very easily.  However,  the source to share the Internet connection must be configured manually, e.g. wifi, LAN, 3G or 4G modem.
I googled an automatic switching of ICS and the open source software SeventhGate was reported to have an option to select the suitable network connection as the source of ICS of  multiple connection sources, then I tried.

Unfortunately, SeventhGate doesn't work on windows8.1.

So. I googled again and found Connectify also had the same function but not in free version.  Moreover, now 70%off-offer was disclosed.   

I purchased and installed Connectify PRO and the automatic switching of ICS sources was established smoothly.

External antenna on ECS LIVA

I tried to attach external antennas to ECS LIVA for improving the Wifi sensitivity.

MHF4-RPSMA RF cables were purchased from AMAZON.

These uncool locations of antenna are due to the short-length of cable.  However, Wifi sensitivity becomes much better.

ECS LIVA

I bought LIVA-64Gb (ECS), which was the world's smallest windows PC.  It is very funny but powerful more than I imagined.

At first, I installed windows 8.1 easily.  Some original drivers must be installed manually.

The LIVA's case is so stiff that re-opening is not easy.  Therefore, I scraped some holding pins smoothly.

I feel that Wifi often disconnects when USB3.0 is used.  To attach a extension cable for USB3.0 may improve that phenomenon.
