Pros
  • Idles at 3.3 W and runs at 4.1 W typical, the lowest draw of any router here
  • Runs from 9-33 V DC or PoE, so it wires into a 12 V rig
  • Light 221 g plastic case, easy to tuck away
Cons
  • Single gigabit port and 1x1 Wi-Fi 5 limit it as a main router
  • Firewall throughput is only 95 Mbps
  • Warranty and cloud management depend on a NetCloud subscription
