Step 2

To open the Linksys WAP11, you will need a Phillips #1 screwdriver and a pair of metal tweezers.
Use the tweezers to remove the two rubber boots on the front two legs. The easiest way to do this is to insert the tweezers into the hole in the face of the boot. Once you are hooked behind the boot, pull outwards.
This will reveal two small Phillips-head screws. Remove them.
Keep these two screws together.
