In
The Box:
The
box design looks quite stark but this also serves to give
a very professional look. It is a router after all, not
a joystick.

Inside
it all looks very neat and well protected. Neat, well thought
out packaging is more about the impression it gives than
the purpose it serves, but even so it's nice to know these
kits aren't just thrown together then left to slide around
during shipping to the store or to your home or business.

All
the basics are included in the box including a software
installation CD, RJ-11 (phone) cable, CAT5 (LAN) cable,
a quick installation guide and a very detailed user guide.

Decked
out in silver with the smoked front LED panel, the router
is very stylish and also quite compact at just 160mm by
120mm.

Behind
the front panel are LEDs to signify power on (PWR), ADSL
connection (LINK) and to signal which of the ethernet ports
are in user ( 1 to 4). In addition to there's also a USB
LAN port available.

One
thing I like, and which was missing from my Belkin router,
is a power switch. It's not unheard of for routers to need
a hard reset and this is easier with a power switch than
it is to keep unplugging the power cable.
Behind
a small hole is a reset switch which returns the router
to its factory settings. If you do use this, keep it depressed
for a good ten seconds or so.
