Router wyposażono w cztery gniazda LAN (gigabitowe), są też dwa gniazda USB, które umożliwiają jednoczesne udostępnianie drukarki i plików z podłączonych dysków zewnętrznych. Przycisk WPS znajduje się z tyłu obudowy i jest dosyć mały. To niepraktyczne...

The AC56U doesn't quite have the bargain basement price tag that could've changed the industry, but it is enough to do serious damage to premium 802.11n router sales. It's faster than them and only marginally more...
