I got a question, how do I pry it without breaking the plastic?
Use Opener tool. In absence of it payment card with sharpened edge or disposable plastic knife will work as well. However be careful to avoid breaking plastic pins on inside edges of router case.
It’s a little tricky, but just using a pry tool (actually finger nails and credit card would probably work), you can start to work it off starting in the front. My AC1750 just stopped working. No wireless. No networking. The reset button generates no change to the LEDs. Seems to have just turned into a dumb hub. I opened it up - but just couldn’t find anything suspicious. Frustrating - as all I did was put away in a closet for two years. It was working before.
This appears to be an Archer C7 V2 or similar shown in this writeup. I have both a C7 V2 and a C7 V5 and they are quite different. The V2 has 3 Internal 2.4 Ghz antennas, and the removable external antennas are for 5 Ghz only. If you plan on using this for some long range 2.4 Ghz with aftermarket antennas, this will not work without substantial modification. The V5 does not have removable antennas, but the external fixed antennas are dual band 2.4 / 5 Ghz. The circuit board is also considerably different. The V2 has a separate add-on card for the 5 Ghz radio. The V5 does not. The V2 has Two USB Ports, The V5 only has One. Suffice it to say that the Archer C7 V2 and the Archer C7 V5 are completely different routers.
