What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The claimed Wi-Fi rate is up to 3.6 Gbps, while each listed WAN and LAN port is 1 Gbps. Actual internet speed and wireless performance depend on the service, client devices and conditions. The listing identifies Wi-Fi 7 and 802.11.be but also lists 802.11ac, and its generic wireless-standard field does not fully describe compatibility. Confirm the precise specification and modem/router arrangement for your setup. The manufacturer lists a three-year warranty, but coverage terms are not supplied here.
