An out of the box feature or functionality, particularly in software, is a feature or functionality of a product that works immediately after install without any configuration or modification.[1]

For instance, if connecting to the internet through wifi immediately after installing the operating system requires not driver installation or configuring, the wifi is said to "work out of the box". This is an important distincition, since several wifi adapters do not necesarily function properly without user interference.
