Can it be used as a fixed device, i.e. plugged in all the time?

This is the second of these devices that I've owned. Living in the country, there aren't a lot of options for WiFi. The first JetPack I left the battery in, running all the time. It is the "brains" of my house - a bunch of Alexas, more than a dozen smart plugs, a Bluetooth front door lock, Nest heater, etc. spread throughout the house. The only real issue I had was that it stop working because it was in "cool down" mode. I would unplug it, and with a few minutes, it was back working correctly. Occasionally I would forget to plug it back in and the whole house would die. Oops. When I discovered that I could remove the back and take out the battery, as long as it was plugged in, it worked great - no overheating, no stoppage. With my new M5 Pro version, the first thing I did was remove the battery. A month with it this way and no issues. IF you decide to take it with you and use it away from a plug, then you will need to insert the battery back in to make it work.

if i plug it in my car (with no battery), will it start up by itself or I have to push the power button every time I get in my car and drive away?

You would have to push the power button each time, since when it loses power it will automatically shut down.

Can you attach an external antenna? If yes, where do you attach it?

Yes you can, but it will only get 2 of the 4 bands the internal antennas can get. This device is 4x4 MIMO but only 2x2 MIMO with an external antenna. JFYI.

Can this be plugged in and used all day in an rv?

Absolutely. No need to remove and lose the battery, device instructions specifically mention overcharge protection.
