No, they are not. That's the problem:
1) FCC has made a new rule that manufacturers are to prevent customers
from breaking the signal strength limitations.
Some WiFi routers have antennae that can be unscrewed and replace with a
different one(s). I've seen ads for router antennas claiming they can help
if you a problem with weak signal at the receiving end.
Replacing antennae on a router with one(s) that are either more efficient or
higher gain can result in the level of the RF output from the device
exceeding the limits set goverment regulation.
