The four Ethernet LAN ports provided at the back of the device that can deliver 100Mbps data speed for the connected computers. The device does not have any Gigabit ports that are capable in providing high speed data processing between connected devices, the lack of USB port is also notable loss in this device. The WAN port placed next to the Ethernet ports will allow the device to take primary network connection from any of the existing broadband through an Ethernet cable. Although the device is capable in providing data speed up to 300Mpbs, it is not that nearer to the speed performance when compared to other similar routers that are capable in providing up to 450Mbps of data speed.

The great performance of this WiFi router had impressed lot of users compared to other routers that are priced at this range. But the feature that made me unimpressed is the lack of Gigabit ports in this device. People looking for a huge data processing between multiple computers will feel a tremendous loss due to this lack. Apart from lack of Gigabit ports, there are lot more features that are absent in this device. Support for guest networking, dual-band USB port are some of the major loss in this device.
