A Closer Look

As you can see here the router is actually pretty small and thin! In fact I was thinking it would be a lot bigger but it surprised me being smaller than even my cable modem.

A close-up of the LEDs. When it's connected at 100Mbps the top row of LEDs lights up. When there is Activity the bottom row blink, otherwise they are solid green. Same for the WAN LED's. The Conn. LED stays lit if there is a WAN connection being made. And the Diag. LED flashes when you reboot the router.

Yes that's my hand, and yes it's THAT small.

Ahhhh, you remember Linky right? It likes to come out and play whenever I get new hardware ;)

Overall the appearance and size of this router are very appealing, it is a really well designed space saver.
