2.5Gb Ethernet
Upgrade to faster storage: NAS meets Wi-Fi 7 speed!
Emerging multi-gigabit Wi-Fi 6/6e (802.11ax) and WiFi 7 (802.11be) standards have driven higher bandwidth demands for wired and wireless network connections. Whilst faster network speeds greatly benefit multi-user environments like workplaces, home users should also demand higher bandwidth to take advantage of faster Internet speeds. QNAP provides a range of network and storage solutions to meet your need for higher speeds!
