The shadow also has two Ethernet ports. Luckily we in general don’t need the better performance or mine / run nodes in congested areas. Can imagine you’ll need more performance when traveling to these kind of areas. For us and our clients I believe the shadow is still sufficient for its purpose.

Oof. Typo. Fair enough. Beryl AX comes with a 2.5G Multi-gigabit WAN port and a 1G gigabit LAN port. Not sure about the speed of the shadow. The better performance of the Beryl AX also doubles as a great home router behind a Protectli firewall.
