I'm seeing the same max distance as you are.

What kind of uFL antenna adapter are you using? It looks like your attaching the antenna directly to the uFL connector on the Electron which I have never seen before.

You might want to check out this thread for getting your product update code working as reliably as possible.

Over the past two weeks I’ve had two Electrons constantly connecting, checking for firmware updates, and sleeping for 10 minutes (same test as before), with some more calls to Particle.process() added. Across 4000 connection attempts, there were only 170 times when the Electron disconnected before getting the firmware update queued event (4.2% failure rate), and these seemed like isolated incidents, not multi-hour outage…
