I bought this for the included Ethernet port. Now, I have BOTH a modem AND a router in one. This simplifies my setup whenever we set up on location. Very well worth the acquisition.
I got this because I needed service for my 2 kids homeschooling and my 7 camera security system . This hot spot is holding my WiFi and no issues super happy with this little box.
