It is more a Topaz networkswitch is on board, not 1x "port" switch.

BTW, Jim Thompson, the owner of the company behind PfSense, is one of the backers of this project according to the community chat.

Pretty neat little board considering the price and  see they plan to support OpenWRT. A pretty powerful router for $50
Running in bridge mode, 1.51 SP1 fw

Neat! Pledged for 1 to play with it... If this gets support, it could be what Shield was intended to be.

And if it doesn't, you can still use if for Plex Media Server or other fun projects.
With the GPIOs on it, you also have the opportunity to add other wireless networks, like Z-wave,LoRA etc to control domotica.
