The signal strengh is increased with swapping the antenna.. be aware, that you have to follow local rules of maximum wifi mWatt output.
But, keep in mind, that you can not increase the antenna infinitive. If the antenna signal is very strong, smartphones might be answer on the beacon to login to tha AP. .. but the smartphone signal is too weak that the AP can see an answer.
A slightly bigger antenna will increase signal and maybe download speed.
On upload speed you can not do much about that... it is directly related to the performance of the usb stick.
