Is my hardware hacked?
Thank you in advance for any help or insight. I was curious if this is what the inside of a c6300 is supposed to look like. I have been having a lot of issues with my network and the highlighted piece...

What issues are you having?
do you have a screen snip of the cable connections page and the logs?

Thanks for that detailed problem description.

You're looking at normally invisible parts of a piece of
cheap-Chinese plastic junk, not a finely crafted walnut desk. If the
wires are attached (to the antennas, I'd guess?), inside the box, then
perhaps your concern is misplaced.
