Three 2.5Gb LAN ports provide enough high-speed wired connections for devices such as a gaming PC and NAS.
Pros: wireless performance, Wi-Fi speed
Cons: content filtering
The four extra gigabit LAN ports are genuinely useful for NAS boxes, adapters and other wired gear, even though their individual speeds are conservative.
Pros: long-range speed, whole-home coverage
Cons: XGS-PON support, Matter support
Having two Ethernet ports, both at 2.5GbE, is unusually generous for a travel router. It lets the Slate 7 maintain a fast wired WAN and a fast local wired device...
Pros: Wi-Fi speed, close-range speed
Cons: mesh performance, seamless handoff
The generous Ethernet selection on both nodes stood out, giving users room for multiple wired devices at both mesh locations.
Pros: close-range speed, download performance
Cons: automatic configuration, interface responsiveness
There is no built-in Ethernet jack, so wired networking requires a USB-C adapter or cradle. That keeps the body compact but adds cost and accessories.
Pros: Wi-Fi standard support, web interface setup
Cons: 160 MHz support, long-range speed
