Unpacking the MX480 Router

The shipping container measures 21 in. (53.3 cm) high, 23.5 in. (60.0 cm) wide, and 32.5 in. (82.5 cm) deep. The total weight of the container containing the router and accessories can range from 93 lb (42.2 kg) to 169 lb (76.7 kg).
The router is maximally protected inside the shipping crate. Do not unpack it until you are ready to begin installation.
