Can you please confirm if the Arlo Q is 802.11ac compatible. Is there an Ethernet port too?

Thanks

The Q is 802.11 on the 2.4 and 5 ghz band

The Q Plus has an ethernet cable adapter and can run as POE too

Appreciate the response. Does that mean it is 802.11n only?

It's 802.11ac compatible in the sense that it will connect to such a router but that doesn't mean it uses that capability. It uses 802.11n since that's more bandwidth than it can use, just as the Pro bases use 100Mb/s Ethernet as well as USB 2.0.
