"It supports up to 4 Gbps on the 5G side ... The unit also features a single gigabit LAN port." If that port is for providing 5G access then Netgear need to rethink their math. 1 gigabit is also not enough to cover the speed of WiFi 6, so it is a bottleneck for it as well. This device is going to be very expensive anyway, so why skimp on this and not include at least a 5 gigabit port?
The company may expect that most of the bandwidth will be consumed via clients sitting on WiFi and that would make sense for a battery backed mobile router.
