Those vendor modems are rentals and expected to be returned in working order. Would you likely get away with it? Sure, nobody is paying techs to diagnose why the WiFi is failing for unit #367326, but cutting traces is definitely crossing some lines.

I wonder what they do with them when they’re returned. Ship em off in pallets to e waste buyers in China I would guess.
