Replacement antenna

One of the "locking sleeves" on my router was split lengthwise when I recently received it. Newegg wants me to return the whole router and Asus won't provide just a replacement, single antenna. So, looking at aftermarket pieces, any to recommend? I am NOT looking for better coverage, etc, etc, though I'll take it. I just want antenna that are at least equal to the stock ones.

I found a few at Amazon, brands Super Power Supply or Huacam. They indicate the are 3 x 6 dBi, 8 dBi, and 9 dBi.

Any suggestions ?

For most people, the stock antennae are the best overall. I would not buy a random single antennae and I hope you are not using the router with it removed.

I would return to Newegg and get a new unit (and you can borrow an old router from a friend).
 
I am looking at 3-piece antennae. The broken antenna is still on and threaded on fine. That sleeve, I think, helps keep it in position.

Even for completely replacing all the antennae, I would still recommend to replace the router itself.
