Thanks to a powerful hardware platform and support for MU-MIMO 2x2 multi-stream data transfer, an impressive theoretical data transfer rate is claimed. In the 2.4 GHz band, it reaches 300 Mbps, at 5 GHz — up to 867 Mbps (in real conditions, 100 and 300 Mbps are achieved, respectively).

Four standard Fast Ethernet LAN ports allow you to create a small local network with a bandwidth of up to 100 Mbps. There is support for NAT, Firewall and DHCP server functions. VPN traffic is correctly processed and IPTV streams are routed. The functioning of security protocols and encryption of user traffic is ensured.
