Competitiveness
We have a cat6 cable plugged into our router and the other end into this.
Guest: without a password or one given out to customers.
From a new 2021 macbook pro connected to it doing an iperf3 test to a qnap nas uplinked at 2.
5gbps and also offer out a guest network with a 1gbps wan port which might be fine if your broadband connection was slow anyway.
