I think pcworld have made an error.

"For broadband through your phone line
    Perfect for connecting up to 4 devices
    8 Ethernet and 1 USB port"

so they have a device with 8 lan ports than can connect 4 devices

as for hh5.

spec.

4 gigabit lan ports
dual band wireless AC
wan port
integrated vdsl modem (same chipset as ECI according to another post I seen on here).
ipv6 support.
smart wireless/FON etc.

I was a beta tester for it and for an isp device it is pretty good.

also on the hh5 the vdsl stats can be viewed as follows.

sync speed
attainable speed
snrm
attenuation

I did try to attach some pics but they all over the 200kB limit, tommorow when I am less tired I will put them on webspace instead or something.  I should be fine to now as I no longer under NDA.

Thanks Chrysalis.   Didnt say anything because I wasnt sure about the NDA

yeah the hh5 is the first dual band I have used and I learnt something which kinda annoyed me.

android phones are capable of 40mhz wide channels but they will only use them on the 5ghz band so my phones connect at 72mbps on 2.4ghz even if the router is 40mhz enabled and 150mbps at 5ghz.

Thats why my laptop was slower on the hh5 as on the asus router it connected using 40mhz, the hh5 uses 20mhz to be polite to other 2.4ghz networks.

Phones were slower on the asus 2.4ghz as forcing 20mhz only.

But then phones faster on 5ghz as able to use 40mhz.

The HH5 is out in the wild already, this user got connected yesterday with one.
