The outer package of New Route 2 is packaged in an environmentally friendly kraft carton and has a certain degree of hardness. The outer layer is covered with a one-time plastic film. The front face has nothing except the middle brand LOGO. It is extremely concise; the back of the product is affixed with a light yellow background. The sticker shows the cooperation relationship with Jingdong+. We can see the specific hardware configuration of the new route 2: MTK's MK7621A dual-core CPU, with a maximum frequency of 880MHz and a memory of 256MB. The body provides two Gigabit LAN ports. Gigabit WAN port and two USB2.0 ports, built-in 8GB TF card, wireless speed up to 1200Mbps.

The label on the left side is affixed with “Tear-Invalid” label. Under the label, it is actually a built-in 8GTF card socket. More plug-ins can be installed to enrich the routing function. Manufacturers directly provide 8G memory cards, which is a lot more than other manufacturers.

The overall shape of the back of the new routing 2 is also very strange. The trapezoidal base made up of multiple chamfered planes is specially designed for heat dissipation. The heat dissipation has a direct impact on the overall performance of the router. Three non-slip rubber pads on the top and bottom and product information on the bottom. Note that the yellow box on the bottom of the figure indicates the newly routed LED indicator. The LED indicator design is too concealed. Although it is not disturbed by the lights at night, it also leads to positive It is not easy to see when it is placed.

The area behind the new route 2 is various ports. From left to right, the ports are: power interface, WAN port, two Gigabit LAN interfaces, and two USB 2.0 interfaces (one of them actually supports USB 3.0, but it is not yet open. ), the hole in the middle of the two USB ports is the restart button.
