Not really. It's only really applicable to any router that uses a dipole antenna.

Pragmatically, this means it's only really an option on routers with external whip antennas. Lots of routers have internal antennas, at which point you're going to have problems attaching the thing. Also, if the internal antennas aren't dipoles, it's not an option at all without significant redesign.

Erm, looks like a monopole antenna to me. The rest of your post looks correct otherwise.

there are a ton of routers with replaceable antennas where the connector is coaxed directly into the front end, like in the article.

i assumed that anyone trying this would have one of those.
