What to know before buying

The listing describes two 2.5 Gbps ports but does not specify their WAN/LAN roles. Confirm these match your modem and wired-device setup before buying. The 3600 Mbps transfer-rate figure is a listing claim, not an independently verified real-world speed. Four external antennas and 4K-QAM appear in the title or feature claims but are not detailed in the technical specifications.

The listing shows a small aggregate rating sample split between four- and five-star categories. That offers limited guidance about customer experience and does not identify particular strengths or problems. Consider the listed Wi-Fi 7, gaming features and port details against your needs, and do not treat the claimed speeds as customer-verified performance.
