From what I can tell from the picture, you have an older Quantum Fiber installation where the router was installed in a box outside your home. The connector block at the top is the old system to connect telephone to the rest of your home so yes, you can take it out and wire tie the blue ethernet cables. The black coax cables connected to that massive splitter can also be removed if you don't need cable TV to all the rooms in your home. If you have cable internet remember one of those cables is going to a room where the cable modem is located so you can't remove that coax cable.

BTW, what are you trying to do? Please PM me for any questions on this and I can call you to discuss.
