We already know what the satellite dishes for Amazon’s Starlink challenger will look like, but a new regulatory filing is offering a first look at the Wi-Fi router for Leo. 

On Monday, the Federal Communications Commission published images for the router, six months after Amazon secured regulatory approval to sell the device in the US. 

The router, model name L1LA10, supports Wi-Fi 6 and a mesh mode. The FCC agreed to delay publishing the submitted test images on a confidentiality request for Amazon. The 180-day period has since elapsed, leading the commission to disclose them publicly. (Use this link to access the files for the referenced images below.)

According to the filings, the product is a rather basic-looking, box-shaped router, which features the name “E1.” The photos show it has three ports, one for power, and two others that seem to be for Ethernet, one specifically for the dish. A newly disclosed user manual suggests the Leo dish can connect to the router through an Ethernet cable. It also notes the router supports Bluetooth Low Energy and the ZigBee wireless protocol.

Another filing also shows internal components of the router, which seems to contain a sizable power supply unit inside, labeled with the words “AC/DC adapter” and “Made in China.” A few images also show the presence of Qualcomm’s Wi-Fi chips in the QCN 6112, IPQ5018, and QCA8061, along with what appears to be 4GB of flash memory from SkyHigh.

Amazon didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. But Leo is slated to launch sometime this summer. So, the first customers will likely receive the router, alongside their Leo dish, as part of a bundle. But for now pricing remains unclear. 

Amazon’s satellite internet service will span the portable Leo Nano dish, the regular Leo Pro, and the enterprise-focused Leo Ultra. It’s possible the router ends up paired with the Leo Pro, according to Tim Belfall, a director at UK-based Starlink installer Westend WiFi. He noted the Leo Ultra, designed for 1 gigabit speeds, will be comparable to the Starlink Performance dish, requiring a "much beefier PSU."
