EDIMAX BR-6258n Nano Wireless Router Impresses us in the Lab - The Box and Goodies

edm02Wireless networking is one of those things that we all have come to rely on. We tend to expect to be able to connect just about anywhere now. I mean, even McDonalds has wireless now so why shouldn’t we? But what do you do when you come across one of those places that either does not have it, has poor quality (like many hotels) or you are just concerned about your security when on those open networks? Well there are a few companies that have a solution to this and we are going to take a look at one from EDIMAX today. It is one of the world’s smallest 802.11n wireless routers the EDIMAX BR-6258n.

 

The Box and Goodies -
The box for the BR-6258n is an odd size for a router. It is rectangular in shape but does have more than enough images and logos to at least let you know what you are getting. I will say that the picture of the BR-6258n is not what you would expect. I took the box and showed it to a few people and they were quite surprised at the shape of the device.

The back of the box (if you can really call it that) is simple with a diagram of how you can fit this into an existing network. This includes using it to connect to an existing wireless network in pure wireless mode. This is the thing that we are really excited about.


Box03
Inside the box is the typical assortment of items you will need to get things working for almost any environment. You have a USB cable along with a wall power block, an Ethernet cable, drivers mini-CD and a small instruction poster.
Box04
The USB cable allows you to power the BR-6258n off of a laptop so you do not even need power to run this.
