Linksys WAP54g Casing Replacement

Introduction

The Linskys WAP54g is not a very complex guide and is basically composed of the outer casing and the circuit board. This guide is pretty simple but will require the removal of a few screws and prying apart the casing. Note that taking apart the casing will void your warranty for this device.
