The Linksys Smart Wi-Fi (EA6500) Router ships in a predominately blue box with a darker band across the top. The front of the box shows us the product and lots of features, including the impressive 450 Mbps (2.4 GHz) + 1300 Mbps (5.0 GHz) wireless speeds.

The back of the box explains in more detail the ‘Smart Wi-Fi' features of this router, as well as listing the impressive specifications. There is nothing too extravagant about this packaging but it gets across the key features in a very clear manner.

Opening up the box we find the router sat on top in a protective bag, with the power supply sat at the bottom of the router.

As you would probably expect with a router there aren't many accessories. The company have included a network cable, which you will need to connect this router to a modem, the power supply, and an installation CD.
