As plemans says, this is a basic router that dates back to 2016.
According to Netgear's manual for this device, not always the most reliable source of information, the LAN and WAN ports support only 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. That makes it slower than many newer internet services and most modern network hardware. This may not matter to you, but be warned that it will hobble you if you ever sign up for faster Internet. It also slows down whatever is going on in your local network. Newer devices support at least 1000BASE-TX.
The wifi is also not be up to much and does not even support 5 GHz wifi.
Nothing wrong with it being old, just don't expect too much, and fancy features like traffic metering..
