The chassis of the WRT3200ACM router is featuring a lot of ventilation holes, so the internal components will not get damaged on the long-run due to excessive heat:
The frontal panel of the router does sport a futuristic shape and this is also the area where the status LEDs are located. We do have a Power/Boot Status LED, a WAN(Internet) LED, one 2.4GHz band LED and also one 5GHz band LED, an eSATA LED, an USB Port 1 LED, an USB Port 2 LED, one separate LED for each LAN interface (four are available), but also a WPS LED:
On the left side we will get to see one gold-plated antenna port:
The right side area is identical:
Most of the interfaces can be spotted though on the back side; here we have the last two antenna ports, a blue WPS button, the LAN ports, one Internet (WAN) port, an USB 3.0 port (USB 2), an USB 2.0/eSATA combo port (USB 1), a Reset button, the DC-IN 12V port, but also an On/Off button:
The bottom area of the router does hold even more ventilation holes, while on the sides we can see large feet which do sport rubber tips; on the blue area, the manufacturer has also placed some information regarding the product serial number, MAC address, but also initial Wi-Fi login details:
After attaching the supplied antennas, we are good to go!
