WN3000RP antenna changing?

Can you swap out the antenna in this product for stronger antenna? Various websites say the antenna are removable, but it seems that they sit in a molded sleeve and cannot be changed. Anyone know from trying?

    Yes it is possible I accidently pulled my antenna out the other day so decided to take it apart it has the mini antenna connections on the circuit board inside as you would find In a laptop so if you get a U.FL Mini PCI to RP-SMA Pigtail Antenna WiFi Cable and then you can connect a normal external wifi antenna. Hope this helps
