It is a bit upsetting that the ethernet port got downgraded. The product’s website still says it features a 5Gbit port:

By the way this is one of the first (if not the first) wireless routers that supports WPA3.

Add 1-2 10Gb ports and I'm a potential buyer, even if the price was a bit higher.
I don't understand how you can sell a high end networking device like this which doesn't feature at least 1 10Gb (or even 5Gb) port.

For that price, you can have a pFsense box, an AC Ubiquity AP with MIMO and PoE.
And awesome features and speed. Did I mention that all that you can control to your liking?
