Before we delve into the features of this router card, let's first take a look at just what comes in the package to assist in our computing experience. Upon opening the package, we are greeted by a thin manual in a stunning eleven languages, a pair of power adaptors - both for 20 and 24 pin ATX cables, a setup CD for this supposedly "cd free" product, a miniature backplate for use in wee cases, a short patch cable for connecting the card to your PC's onboard Ethernet, and last but not least the two most important parts - the card itself and a long wired antenna complete with a wee blue LED at it's end , which will allow for easy placement nearly anywhere around your PC. The only gripe we have to this antenna is that by Gigabyte's design, there is absolutely no way to use a different antenna with this unit. Thanks a lot guys.
As to the features of the router, we're going to refer to Gigabyte's website to find out exactly what this card can do. This is what it had to say:
