Mmh only two Ethernet ports? I guess it’s for people who use mostly wifi only?

It’s a router, not a switch.

Well the router I use today has 4 ports (and a built in modem for that matter, but I don’t use that).
I understand I can use a switch, but that means I’ll have to buy a switch in addition to this to replace my router.

The audience of this router most likely already has a standalone switch within their network.

I have 3 but they’re not close to the router. (What I’m saying is: I’m likely target audience, but I don’t have an additional switch nearby, since so far any router I had also had a built in switch.)

But yeah, I get it. Modularity makes sense for repairability.
