The installed CPU supports 520 MHz PXA 270, nearly 100 Mbps, the price is Personal $ 179 (about 21 thousand yen), Pro is (about 24,000 yen).

It seems that you are assuming to use it in an environment called a free spot such as a public wireless LAN or a hot spot rather than being used in an environment where a firewall is physically installed in a company or in a household So it seems to be positioned for mobile.

The control panel looks something like this.
