I miss this blue metal design. Yea the grey ones are nice, but the blue always made it look a little bit more interesting to have around.

Some models had a real time network utilization display for the 10mbps bridge and the 100mbps Ethernet. Was great back in the ADSL1 days, could see real time network usage on two sets of four green LEDs.

(And a flashing orange 'collision' light just for fun.)

Can’t you still get these in blue? I see them for sale.

If you have to assist someone remotely they also do tend to have fewer small blue boxes.
