What works. What doesn't.
Power
RTINGS says the USB-C port is power-only and accepts a 9V or 12V USB-C PD power bank.
Connections
One 2.5Gbps WAN, one 1Gbps LAN and a USB-A port for mobile tethering. ASUS lists WireGuard and OpenVPN clients and servers.
Setup
RTINGS measured great speeds at close range but disappointing range, best suited to a hotel room or cafe table.
