How about a service where I send you my modem , you get the needed parts, make the needed modifications... then send it back to me? If your reputation and credibility are of high enough value I would not have any problems with paying you when sending the device.
This has got to be a service which people will pay for. I have wasted so much time on balancing my CPE modem on an outside window sill to get the best possible signal strength.
