Summary: First-gen Broadcom-based AC1750 class router with USB 2.0 port with unimpressive performance and other problems.
If you look closely at the pic on the Staples site, it says USB 3.0. So, maybe this is an improved version?

From the same review:
That single USB port is 2.0, not 3.0. But I don't think USB 3.0 would have helped much for file copy performance, as we'll see in a bit.

The max speed there looks to be 7MB/s...hardly limited by USB2 interface.

If it is the V2, there's another review of that one on SNB as well...

Cons: • USB 3.0 port doesn't really help
• Not much difference in performance vs. V1
