EX8000 extender disassembly
I am diagnosing a dead EX8000 and cannot see how to release the bottom half of the case. Nothing found in searches. There are only two screws at the top so there must be a trick to unlatching the bottom stand portion.
The case is quite different from the Orbi though. But I solved my problem, with a Dremel tool lol. After a couple of days struggling I cut thru the seam. That'll show 'em!
An exploded view would have come in handy; couldn't find anything.

On the orbi's, the rear plastic cover that the ethernet ports come in can be removed. Considering the EX8000 is basically the RBR50, that could be a similar attachment point.
