- Do I need to consult FCC regulations in order to modify a laptop's internal WI-FI antennas to a new housing?
- This is quite common when modifying laptops to "slabtops". For example, one could 3D print this sort of housing, and the place the IPEX-connected antennas in there:

However, are these sorts of things technically appropriate as per FCC? They are modified designs after all. But is it possible that moving around laptop antennas does not change the specifications drastically, because, for example, the antennas are low-power?

What about selecting new external antennas instead of the internal ones?
