There's a sentence right at the start that casually says "So I opened it up and applied power."

"So I opened it up..." appears to be doing a lot of work! I can't work out for the life of me how you open one of these things up!

 

Any ideas? It kinda looks glued or welded shut... I have a unit that received some water damage, I'd like to try and fix it.

Google doesn't reveal any information about people disassembling these things...

I was able to disassemble mine through the antenna ports. Remove antennas from the device. then lift the seals(stickers) away, from around the the antenna posts, use a mini tech-flathead screwdriver to remove the lock nuts on each post. Then, push the screw posts down into the case, and you will see it slide open.

Great description. For instructions on how NOT to do it, check the FCC website at https://fccid.io/TE7EAP225OD/Internal-Photos/TE7EAP225OD-Internal-photo-3674608 (photo #5 has the mangled plastic case )frown.
