5gee Wifi vs 5gee Home Router 2021. What are the differences?

I went into an ee store to pick up the home router but they gave me smaller 5gee Wifi device instead without my knowledge at the store

I'm debating should I make a return visit to pick up the device I wanted or not bother, I realise the home router could cost me more

 

Does anyone know what the actual differences are between these two devices other than extra ethernet ports and antenna capability for the home router? Everything on the website and online sources indicate they could be the same other than that.

 

Thanks

  • 5GEE WiFi Router; Battery powered, therefore portable. 1 Ethernet port.
  • 5GEE Home Router; Mains powered, therefore non-portable. 2 Ethernet ports.
