My RBS750 satellite was knocked off its wall stand and the Brass "nuts" located in the unit used to screw it into the stand have dislodged and are floating around within the unit. How do I disassemble the unit to reattach?

I have searched (and searched) for how to open this model and found nothing. Very annoying that after all this time, nobody has come out with how to do this.

From the FCC, kind of looks like the front cover comes off somehow. https://fccid.io/PY319400470/Internal-Photos/Internal-photos-4603355

Thanks for finding the FCC information on the RBR750. I still can't make any sense of "where to start".

Exactly. Have screwdriver in hand, but cannot find any screws! On the original Orbi, Netgear hid the screws behind the Ethernet port label (WAN, LAN, Power, Sync, Etc.) The key was to peel off the label and expose the screws. On the 750, it appears that there are two "tabs" that engage somehow and magically hold the back on. The FCC picture shows the cover piece sideways and it looks bigger than the case. (optical perspective perhaps?) There are videos on the internet for everything under the sun except opening this case!

Here it is pulled off. I used a pen knife to pry up the outside corners.

Might check under the rubber footing at the bottom to see if there is any hidden screws there.

  No visible screws under the rubber footing. Nothing under the sticker on the underside of the unit that lists model and serial either.
