Yes, it got only USB 2.0, I guess because for USB 3.x you got to decide to either live with 2.4~2.5GHz interference (like most IPQ devices I've seen having USB 3.0 so far) or spend more for filters and evaluating a board design. It's definitely not meant to be a NAS, it's just an AP/Router, not even too useful as a modem-router (USB 2.0 port supplies only 500mAh afair). When using as dual-band AP, also the Gigabit Ethernet of the E8450 can become a bottle-kneck, UniFi 6 LR got that Aquantina 2.5GBase-T PHY (and also combines MT7622x with MT7915E, like the E8450). _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
