The backside is not that different, many vents for airflow. Under load, we checked, the unit gets luke-warm so yes ventilation is needed, and likely also the reason why it cannot be wall mounted. The router is equipped with four thick rubber pads, this raises the router upwards a bit to better allow heat to pass through the mesh at the bottom. Let me also make another remark, it's a big router, not very practical to tuck away. Then again it's quite something to look at, so you might prefer it in visual sight. When we turn around the router on its belly, you'll notice a sticker. Your security is pre-arranged for you. Each router has a unique WPA2 key for the wireless network. You simply use that key (again unique to each router) and you are good to go. The LAN router's IP address, the default is 192.168.1.1, and the default password to log in is admin/admin.

Looking at the sides of the unit you can see the eight antennas for wireless networking, note that high power antenna's on all routers are restricted to transmit power regulations, this is a very expensive multi-band router ergo eight of them. A bit hard to see but at the front side a series of white LEDs indicating LAN/WAN activity, and sure, power on. You can disable the LEDs with a button located on the side.

Connectors then

1x WAN (internet) port
8x Gigabit Ports
2x USB3.0 Port
Reset Button
12v DC Power
On/Off Switch

The router's USB ports can be used to connect to external storage devices of any capacity. You can use external hard drives formatted in FAT32, or NTFS. The router supports UPnP and DNLA streaming, so content stored on an external drive can be played back by network media streamers. Located on the side are the standard buttons for quick connect WPS, LEDs on/off and Wifi on off.
