On the under side, it has the default networks information printed. Using this information, you can use the router right out of the box. Just plug it into power and connect its WAN (Internet) port to an Intenet source, such has a broadband modem, and you're set!

There's a label containing the same information on one side and the instruction on how to access its Web interface on the other hidden inside the router's chassis. It'll come in handy when you need to setup or re-set the router.

The AOSS button on the front now works as a programmable button. By default it does nothing, but you can make it turn the router on, or eject a storage device plugged into the router's USB port.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
