Ripped the cable that connects to the back side of the motherboard

Check Wi-Fi 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz including 3G / 4G. It's for one of those antenna cables and if I'm correct one of them won't work properly or have very weak signal.

I noticed that the strength of Wifi through walls has reduced. The 5Ghz Wi-Fi must have failed then. Can this be fixed by securing the connection with electrical tape or I must buy a new cable?

You would have to get another cable. I'm not 100% sure how they connect the Wi-Fi antenna but it may be just a cable that just needs to be replaced.

Depending on what iPhone and where the tear is and how big it is and how well are you able too press it back together.

I have seen some totally get weak and have to be right next to the router and ive seen others show no effects.With a 5S the replacement part is less than $3 so if it doesn’t work well enough you just gotta order another cable there’s no getting around it.
