Rock 5B+ m.2 B-key speed

ROCK 5 Series

Is the m.2 B-key on the Rock 5B+ actually limited to USB 2.0 speeds?

The schematic seems to indicate this is the case, please tell me this isn’t so.

@Peter.Wang can you confirm?

I don’t understand asking such a simple question and even tagging an engineer and still not getting an answer after four days.

Hi, @rooted

You are correct. ROCK 5B+ B Key only supports 4G or 5G modules with USB interface.

I want to know if the m.2 B-key speed is USB 2.0 or USB 3.0?

@rooted m.2 B-key speed is USB 2.0

That’s really a shame, the whole reason I got this device was to port OpenWrt and use it as a 5G gateway but USB 2.0 will limit the speeds and won’t work for this application.

Thanks for the answer.
