12" Powerbook External Antenna Hack

Step 3Cut a notch in the Airport Extreme flap/door to let the cable out of the Airport Extreme slot

Cut a notch in the Airport Extreme flap/door to let the cable out of the Airport Extreme slot
Start by covering up all the little crevices and cracks with masking tape so that only the little piece of the metal flap is exposed. Take that out with a Dremel using a cutoff wheel, then blow away the filings really well with compressed air.

The flap should close around the internal antenna's connector with it shoved all the way back into the notch it comes out from. Unfortunately, the flap probably won't stay put any longer because you just cut off the piece of metal that keeps it in place. But that's ok. Now you need to notch the battery to let the cable out.
