Does the Gen 5 router have ports?

I need to plug in my solar gateway to a router to send data to Solaredge for access of system health, generation. I need ports on the Gen 5 router , does it have extra ports? Thanks

    Thanks for your reply.. I'm considering a switch to Gen 5 , it appears some have had problems with speeds , how is your system working? What did you have to pay to get it operating? Which did you choose? lease or buy ?

     

    My Gen 4 isn't grounded to a stake, is this a new installation requirement?

    My speeds have been fairly consistent with Gen5 - http://testmy.net/quickstats/C0RR0SIVE  Set the Identifier to 5 and you will get a list of my Gen5 test results over a 24 hour period of time.
    I can't comment on anything else though...

    Grounding has been a requirement since the beginning.

By ports do you mean physical connections? If so, then yes, there are four 1Gbit NIC's on the back of the HT2000w.
