DSL and Phone in ports

-
Nothing really to see here...
-
Remove the 2 antenna wires from the wifi card. One is also taped to the back of the board.
-
The circuit board is finally free!
-
-
-
Looks like someone was generous with the thermal paste.
-
Underneath the cover:
-
Broadcom BCM6366
-
Broadcom BCM53115
-
-
-
-
The antenna connectors have gold-plated coax connectors and standard Wi-Fi antenna connectors.
-
What's underneath the heat-shrink? A ferrite bead to minimize interference.

-
Testing out the light pipe with an LED throwie...
-
The light pipe takes light from tiny surface-mount LEDS on the motherboard and refracts it to the panel.
-
Here are all the LEDS:
-
8 of the LEDS that work with the light pipe
-
One more surface mount LED
-
A white LED for illuminating the Qwest logo
-
A dual-color (red/green) LED for the WPS status indicator.
-
-
-
The empty shell that once held a DSL modem.
-
The 2 detachable Wi-Fi antennas. Nothing to tear down here!
-
-
-
Repairability score: 8/10
-
The entire device is held together with only 4 screws.
-
The Wi-Fi antenna connectors are screwed in and the cables are not soldered to the board.
-
The antennas are replaceable as well.
-
The heat sink is soldered in place, making removal difficult.
-
The Wi-Fi card is soldered in and held in place with silicon adhesive, making it impossible to remove without damaging the card or the device.

Awesome teardown! These things have gotten so simple. Those antennas would be pretty easy to repurpose for something else.
Hello. I have one of these that I want to switch the antenna for. Are you able to tell me which of the antenna wires is the positive and neutral (I realize the antenna itself doesn’t have positive & neutral, but I don’t know the relevant term). Both wires are grey and hooked together so it’s not easy to tell
