Description

Five Gigabit ports in a palm-sized case

All five RJ-45 ports run at up to 1000 Mbit/s, so moving files and running backups across the local network are not held back by port speed. The router is built for wired networks: the internet arrives over cable and the remaining ports serve computers, a NAS, a TV or a Wi-Fi access point. The manufacturer lists no mobile internet or mesh support.

Who this router is for

Homes and small offices where the internet comes in over fibre or a cable modem and devices are cabled; users who prefer a separate router and a separate access point; and anyone who needs a small router that fits into a tight spot.

Questions & answers

Does the router have Wi-Fi?

The manufacturer does not specify Wi-Fi; the data describes only the five Gigabit Ethernet ports. For wireless coverage, connect a separate Wi-Fi access point.

Can it be used with a SIM card?

No. This model has no mobile internet support; the internet connection comes over cable.

How many devices can I connect by cable?

The router has five Gigabit ports. With one of them used for the internet connection, four remain for local devices; for more, add a switch.
