Unleash the Power of Your Router!

Step 4 Dissect the Specimen

After acquiring all the materials needed for this mod/upgrade, were going to have to take it apart. This is rather simple, but requires a decent amount of force.

Start by flipping it over, and placing your thumbs against the back of the two front legs. Press pretty hard on either side, and it will pop right off.

Grip the small lip on the back of the underside with one hand, and the base/ board with the other, and pull apart. They should come apart rather easily.

Take your small Phillips, and remove the 2 little screws holding the in place.

With your left hand, hold the plastic casing, and grip the board with your right. Slide the board away from you and it will slip right off the little placement pegs.

Flip the mainboard over.

you make this look really easy, but i cannot remove the shell.  is there a trick to getting the blue part off?

Press your thumbs against the font pegs on the underside, while pressing the rear of your hand against the rear pegs. It sometimes takes quite a bit of force, and usually will literally shoot off once its let go. I just added captions to the photo of the removal to help.
