Nighthawk X8 R8500 Rattle - How to Open Box

My router is working fine, but when I picked it up and moved it I noticed a rattle. I think something small may have fallen into the box. I found 2  obvious hex screws on the bottom, but I'm sure I must be something else to open the box. I'd appreciate any help.

    There are more screws on the feet. 

    Remove the rubber feet in each corner and you'll see more screws.

      I already looked there. I found a video for the x6, but it's a different box and doesn't apply.
