Does the Gen 5 router have ports?

[ecoalex2]

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

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

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.
