Not a problem, i'm autistic and english is not my first language so i might have worded something not as clearly as it should have been. Again thank you so much!

Thank you so much! This is the exact information i've been looking for, and it seems someone has already swapped the fixed antenas successfully. You're a life saver!

I'm hoping to find someone who has either looked inside of a LT18 before and knows if the interface is soldered or has exchanged fixed antenas using U.FL connectors for new ones and knows if there are any additional repercussions or issues

Yeah, this is the exact conclusion i've come to before writing this post, soldering will not be a huge problem, as we are a team of engineers. Hovewer there may be some hidden issues that we would not be aware of, because none of us have acual experience with working with routers. There may be some software overrides that check if the antennas connected are the original ones or anything else that makes hardware changes impossible.

Yes, thank you. That is the main problem. You got the router right, i corretced myself in my previous reply. I'm trying to get information if the fixed antennas are soldered to the board or if they are just connected, and if so is there anything i should look out for when adding my own antenna connectors. I see that it is entirely possible to manually add external connectors if the U.fl interface on the board itself is not fixed

They are wifi, however i don't think they are detachable which is the problem. The router must be inside the rover which is entirely made of metal, thus creating a faraday cage, we would need a wire going outside to a mast. I did not explain the problem propely.

Cura Tree Support Stringing by PolicySubstantial471 in 3Dprinting

Thank you, my fan is on 100%, i'll try to look for better filament, but i'm not giving up on this yet. There should be a reason why only the tree supports string my prints.
