arjun101,

Main difference between the RAX35 and RAX40 is that the RAX40 is equipped with a USB 3.0 port.

Christian

Is that only difference?

Vores,

Yes, that will be the difference between the 2 routers. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll have the document forwarded to the team for review.

  No difference related to any other hardware, right?

I can confirm that the RAX35 does not have a USB port. I bought one and just looked at the back.

    I'm happy with it, but do a port scan as soon as you install it. Mine had a bunch of ports open besides 53 and 80. I'm trying to figure out which ones do not need to be open so I can close them. So far closing a few hasn't affected performance for what I do.
