From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Uh, if you’re wanting to go above 1G, this thing is not going to cut the mustard. Seriously, why would they give it a 2.5G WAN port paired with a 1G LAN port? That’s so dumb.
I can see benefit in the 2.5G on the LAN side if you connect a disk to the USB port and have it function as a NAS. It gives you enough bandwidth for the full WAN speed plus headroom for that.
I agree I'd still prefer 2x 2.5G though.
It’s not the other way around? It says the 2.5Gbe port has PoE, I thought that sold be for LAN
I mean either way you’re gonna bottleneck on the 1G port
Yeah would be way more smart to do the opposite.
Ooooof lol hello engineers???
