All four ports run at 2.5 Gbit/s, and each can take the WAN or LAN role as needed. That lets you connect fast fibre internet, a NAS and a desktop computer without a gigabit port holding them back. Traffic through the 2.5G ports gets top priority in the router. The USB 3.2 port can share files across the network (Samba, FTP) or take a mobile internet modem.
Homes with many smart devices and phones that already support Wi-Fi 7 or 6 GHz; home offices that need VPN and a separate network for IoT devices (Smart Home Master allows up to three SSIDs); and larger houses where coverage is extended with AiMesh nodes.
