Wi-Fi equipment with USB-A 5Gbps

USB A 5Gbps

— in this case, we're talking about USB ports intended for connecting various external peripherals. The types of supported USB devices and their applications can vary and should be clarified separately. Typical examples include working with a 3G/4G modem (see "Internet Connection (WAN)") and connecting a flash drive or external HDD for file server mode (see "Software Features").

As for the USB 3.2 Gen1 version (formerly known as USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 Gen1), it is a direct successor of USB 2.0, introducing, among other things, a tenfold increase (up to 4.8 Gbps) in maximum data transfer speed and enhanced power supply capabilities. However, despite its overall popularity, this standard is still relatively rare in Wi-Fi devices, as USB 2.0 suffices for many tasks. Nonetheless, the situation is gradually changing.
