Router Specs

Router specs should translate marketing terms into real setup and buying meaning.

Most users do not need a lab-grade breakdown. They need to know what AX5400, Wi-Fi 7, MU-MIMO, OFDMA, 2.5GbE, CPU, RAM, and throughput mean for their own home setup, NAS access, VPN speed, or future upgrades.

Spec groups

  • Wireless generations and naming
  • Radio and airtime features
  • Ports and wired capacity
  • CPU, RAM, and service throughput

What makes spec content useful

  • Tie each term back to a real use case.
  • Separate marketing numbers from meaningful numbers.
  • Cross-link feature terms and buying decisions.

Detailed page plan: wireless naming

  • Explain Wi-Fi generation names and where compatibility matters.
  • Decode AX/BE labels and why total theoretical speed is not the whole story.
  • Link to Wi-Fi settings and glossary content.

Detailed page plan: throughput and hardware

  • Define NAT, VPN, and firewall throughput separately.
  • Explain when CPU/RAM matters for advanced use cases.
  • Point to NAS, VPN, and small office use cases.
