1 Antennas and mounts came off motherboard….
Yesterday I was doing a repair on a 2017 MacBook Pro, and while I was disconnecting the antennas the mounts from the motherboard came up with the antenna cable. One of them came off correctly, but the others don’t look so good. I still see the gold needle in the middle is there a way a specialist can solder it or like a cheap fix of glue to still make it work without a MB replacement?

Can you take a photo of both the antenna and the connection to the board?
Dependent on the severity it might be a fairly simple repair that I would love to assist you with.
If at worst case you don't wish to repair it wireless USB adapters work too.

@jakenorthey Really unfortunate series of events. Sorry to hear that man.

@jakenorthey - This is very fixable! If the shell is still good or can be soldered, otherwise I just tend to replace the part as a hot air rework system will make quick work of it putting a new one.
Forget an external setup as you won’t find a USB WiFi Version, at best you’ll need to get a USB-C to Ethernet then using a WiFi repeater not worth the hassel.
