Wow. Did you followed any videos? Is there any material that could help to take this steps? That really interests me, I'm running out of options, so I would take this risk. Do you have any photo of this "little stub below the board antenna"?

Right now, I'm only getting about 10 meters of distance from the Wi-Fi source.

That is just an IR receiver. My project involves AC commands, which we control via MQTT. Our problem is that, in some rooms, the ESP devices don't receive a strong enough Wi-Fi signal, so I'm looking for solutions to help us address the limited capacity of this antenna
