So if I got this right, the cables come out the back, and the LEDs to show whether it's working or not are on the side? And are we agreed that it can only be used vertically?
Mobile phones are designed to be small as they are carried round in your pocket, a modem/router is designed to sit in the home and never be moved so no need to spend money making it more compact.

Yes as it has a stand built in its designed to be used vertically only. Probably something to do with the wifi aerial orientation as well.
