Packaging
The Edimax nMax Wireless 802.11n Gigabit Router comes supplied in a cardboard box. The box front exterior is printed with all the main features of the router and a nice shot of the router itself. On the reverse, there are translations of the major features, in most European languages. In all, the exterior packaging conveys a clean and simple theme, and is quite attractive and eye catching.
Upon opening the box, you will find everything securely packaged, and there was a protective wrapper placed around the router itself, to prevent scratching.
The contents of the box comprises:
- Edimax nMax Wireless 802.11n Gigabit Router
- Install / Instruction CD
- Quick setup manual
- Base, to allow vertical placement of the router
- 240v mains adaptor
- 8x Adhesive rubber feet (4 for Router, 4 for Base)
- 3x 3dBi RP-SMA Detachable Antenna
- 1x Ethernet Cable
No nasty surprises with the overall package, and everything is taken care of to ensure the contents make it home nice and safely from the shop shelf. As I said, it is attractively packaged, and the product should stand out well on the shop shelf.
Moving on, let's take a closer look at the router itself, on the next page.

That front panel looks so ewww.
Price on this for the features it has make it a very good purchase.
The radio channels wouldn't really be helped by the dual 2.4/5.8 newer versions that are coming out, mainly as they're "meant" to be for media traffic devices. Only today looked at a view screen for a hd camera using the 5.8 freq to see the screen of the camera - it's pretty impressive. Ofc the 2.4g traffic doesn't afflict it. 2.4 being free for use does tend to get pretty crowded, but there are tools out there that will allow u to graphically see how busy the traffic is about u so that u can pick the best for ur setup.
Notice a trend of them looking similar to what the Apple wireless-n predicted router will look like. Believe this is coming in May. Perhaps with the wireless n-iPhones.
The price seals this unit for me. U can buy barely usefull wireless-g routers, with gigabit switches, for just under the price.
I'm w8ing for a d-link 855? unit with the dual radio, out of interest above the features also.
Great stuff.

Nice review.
I am thinking about upgrading from my aging Linksys Wireless G router. Would be nice to have a Gigabit network, and it's getting a bit haggered from all the wireless connections..

Thanks, and glad you enjoyed the review. Totally agreed on the price. I paid more for a 54g router a few months ago, and it hasn't got half the features of this one. As I said in the review, I would recommend this router to anyone who wants to upgrade to 802.11n and gigabit LAN.
@Zak: When you see the panel in person, it ties in really well with the router. I think these routers with the LCD displays are a bit of overkill tbh, as a router is normally shoved on a shelf, under a desk or somewhere out of direct sight.
