According to the manufacturer, the 2.5 Gbit/s and 1 Gbit/s ports can each be set as WAN or LAN, so the faster port can serve a broadband line above one gigabit or, for example, a NAS. An external drive plugged into the USB 3.0 port becomes available to every device on the network, with media server, FTP and Samba support. A dual-core 1 GHz processor and OFDMA help keep things smooth when many devices are online.
Homes with an internet plan faster than 1 Gbit/s, or planning to move to one; families streaming, gaming and working on several devices at the same time; and users who may later extend coverage with a OneMesh extender and want to manage the network from a phone with the Tether app.
