About:
      First off, never get this router, it is a piece of junk. They lock up, freeze, and lack some basic router controlls
in the setup pages. There's a reason they sell so cheap during black friday sales. If you already have one, however,
and you need to take it apart to get to the main board, this is how you do it.







Reasoning:
      Why would you ever need to take one apart you ask? Oh I don't know, maybe if you were dishonest, to do a switch-a-roo.
Of course I would never do this, but here's how it goes down. Lets say hypothetically someone bought this router
legit for home use. Then just 2 weeks after the store return policy expires, it starts acting up. So instead of having
to deal with the factory waranty crap, you just go out, buy another, put the old one in the box, and then return your
old one as if it were the one you just bought.
      Simple right? Well actually yeah, it is, only thing though, it doesn't work all the time anymore. Places are getting
smarter. Stores are starting to verify that the serial number on the product matches the number on the box, thus
preventing this procedure from working. Even Wal-mart does this now for electronics. Solution? Swap the guts! This way
the recipt matches the box which matches the product.






Picture Series:

New Router out of the box.

First thing, turn it over, peal off the 2 sticker feet closest to the antena.

remove the 2 screws and the antena

gently pry the 2 sections apart along the seem from the edge closest to the e-net ports.

locate and remove the 2 screws holding down the main board.

lift the grey edging straight up to remove, then gently pry the mainboard up from the side oposite the ports.

the main board is now free.
