Detaching Antennas on C7500 Nighthawk X4 AC3200
I recently purchased the Nighthawk X 4 AC3200 Model 7500 and then deiced on getting a separate Netgear Modem and Router.
I have to send back the Nighthawk X4 AC3200 Model 7500 and was wondering how to remove the antennas so that I can pack the unit back in the box to return it?
If anyone can help, that would be very much appreciated!

Reverse what was told in install doc?
Go here and put in model number and will be taken to site with doc.

I don't see where it mentions connecting the antennas or detaching them. The router cannot fit in the carton it came in unless the antennas can be separated somehow and I don't see that they can be detached?

Sure looks like the attennas are attached to the router. Not sure what to tell you since the quick start does not talk about attaching the antennas like expected.

The Antennas on the C7500 are not detachable. Same goes for my C7800 modem. I just lay mine down as far as they will go since my 7800 is in bridge mode.

I had the same problem. You need to lay down two right antennas to the left and two left antennas to the right. It's a bit tricky, but if you know that it is possible, you will find a solution in a couple minutes.
