What You Get

Out of the box, you’ll get an unassuming grey rectangular unit measuring 9.0cm x 8.2cm x 4.0cm with a short ethernet cable and an external power adapter. (It’s worth mentioning that the AC adapter is designed so that it won’t cover other power outlets when plugged in.) As is common these days, the full documentation is on the CD-ROM, though the included printed quick installation guide is covers most of what you’ll need to get up and running.

The front of the little grey box has two LEDs on the lower right hand corner. The green one on the left lights up brightly whenever it is plugged into a power source. The orange one on the right has two states of brightness: a dim blinking glow indicates wireless activity, which brightens up when an ethernet device is connected.

Happy to see me?

Oooo, balancing act!

The rear has the connection for the power, the RJ-45 plug, a paper-clip sized hole for resetting the device, and an adjustable and removable antenna. The bottom is cushioned with four little round ‘feet’ similar to what you may have seen on top of AMD Athlon processors. Also on the bottom are a couple of mounting points for those who wish to hang the DWL-810+, but most shouldn’t have a problem just letting it sit on top of the console.

It goes straight in
