| Inside a 3Com 3CRWDR100A-72 Wireless ADSL Router |
We take apart our new 3Com ADSL Wireless 11g Firewall Router to see what makes it tick. This is the same router that comes in 3Com's 3CRWE754G72-AGBUN router/pcmcia-card bundle.
The back panel has everything as expected (from left to right) adsl telephone socket, power socket, reset button, power button and 4 ethernet ports
As with most wireless routers, the actual wireless hardware is provided by a small daughter board, usually either a PCMCIA card, or a mini-PCI card, as appears to be the case this time. Both antenna are connected to the small wireless card, and are also seperately earthed to the main board below.
Turning the main board over, there appear to be no extra chips on the underside as we occassionally find
Finally turning to the antenna, they are not detachable so no RP-SMA connectors here.
