The Ethernet ports provide a slower speed than the actual speed. On the front there are LED lights. The LED lights are of power, three Wifi bands, internet, WPS, LAN activity and of two USB ports. There is a button to turn these lights off. It has a new band that is 60 GHz band along with this one 2.4 GHz band and 5 GHz band are also there so that this router can work as an 802.11 ac router.
