Yes. It has a qualcomm cpu, so no Merlin FW. That doesn't affect me in the slightest, though. Nor have I seen any QoS quirks or any other quirks for that matter. I have countless wifi clients using it. I have two 10gbit switches going out to all my gear. I regularly see 650+MB/sec on downloads to my machines that have nvme drives.
Pros: Dual 10 gig ports (one via SFP+), fast, rock solid stability (I have yet to see an updated firmware since I purchased it a year ago). Never needs rebooting. 10 gig ports can be configured as lan or wan. More than adequate processing power, even with multiple 10 gigabit clients routing through it. CHEAP!
Cons: Only wifi 6, not 6e. Besides the dual 10 gig ports, everything else is just gigabit. Qualcomm cpu, so no Merlin (not that I care).
