A USB 2.0 port offers basic sharing, file copy speed over wired network is about 8MB/s, which is a bit better than my older hardware but not by much. ... "
" ... Disclaimer: I bought this because I needed a cheap managed gigabit switch. ... "
" ... Most of the other routers has max 100 mbps port, so even if you have 200mpbs internet line, it would max out at 100mbps, eventhough the wifi itself is Gigabit. ... Also, allows sharing of USB drive as media / ftp server. ... "
