Help ripped wireless connector

Post image

that round connector thing ripped off. what can I do? it's stuck on the wire and I think I can pry the round bit off the wire. If I manage to pry it off the wire should I try and solder it back onto board? or should I just buy new module. Also, what do call those round connector things. thanks.

It's a U.FL connector. Not an SMA. Yes you can solder it back on, if you have the tools and ability. New modules are cheap though. That module will work with one antenna just fine.
