You'd still have to figure out how to replace the antenna.

The antennas usually included on ESP32 boards are for 2.4GHz, which is the range the ESP32 hardware is tuned for anyway. But if you do want a different antenna, just get a board with a modular antenna, like some of the Xiao boards from Seeed Studio

Yes, that was in the 'random laptop' context, sorry, I could have made that clearer.

I think that applies too, laptops usually use the same connectors for the Wi-Fi antennas, so you shouldn't have an issue just using something off the shelf that matches the frequency you want
