Is it possible to fit a Wi-Fi antenna to the HUB5000?
(if so, how? :D )

I have the same question. Is there a way you can recommend connecting an external antenna to the hub5000?

So I opened my HUB5000 and it appears that there is an IPX connector on the corner of the chip. It looks like it isn't as deep as other pictures I see.
Can someone from Phidgets confirm or deny any of this?

You can't use the MHF4 antenna connector to connect an external antenna because there is already a chip antenna connected - you would need to cut the trace to the chip antenna for it to work.
