Moving further, we will get to see the product sitting inside a custom white plastic mold, and on the top portion of the RE450 we can also spot a thin transparent plastic film which is meant to protect the equipment during transit; this is made for a good reason since the finishing is made from glossy white plastic:

If we do remove the product from its original packaging, we can take a closer look:

On the top we have a LED ring which does have two colors available (red if we are too far away from the router we need to connect it to or blue if the connection is optimal); the central button helps when we would like to connect via WPS:

Further down we do have the 2.4GHz network connection LED, the 5GHz network connection LED but also the usual Power LED:

A large portion on the back of the device features a ventilation grill and on the lower area we have the power plug along with a sticker which informs us on the model code name, the serial number but aslo the default SSIDs for both extended networks:

By pressing the central button upwards, we will practically extend the top antenna:

On each side we do have one additional antenna, for a total of three; with the lateral antennas extended, we need a bit of clearance available on the left and right sides of the adapter so please keep this in mind:

Besides some additional ventilation holes, the left side does also house a RJ45 port and we are dealing with a Gigabit connection, not Megabit as we have seen on many other previous devices:

The right side does feature a small Reset button hole, a button for disabling the LEDs but also an additional button for turning the device off:

Lastly, we do also get a LAN cable which helps connecting wired stations to the device:
