Is this hardware version 1 or hardware version 2?

The one that I am running is Hardware version 1. I am currently at Firmware version 1.2.4 I hope that helps.

Can you plug this into a 2.5gb switch and get native 2.5gb without link aggregation?

Yes, you can plug this router into a 2.5gb switch and get native 2.5gb without link aggregation.

What is the maximum number of connected devices?

It has 8 Gbs lan ports and for how many devices that can connect to it. I can probably say that it's double that of the previous gen. Though it still has the problems that pretty much every wireless router has. The more devices the slower it becomes.

Does is finally have media server hosting?

Hello, Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question. Unfortunately that is not a question we can answer, but you can contact the manufacturer directly for possible assistance. Their contact information can be found under the 'Warranty & Returns' tab. Support Phone: 1-866-225-8139 Support Email: support.usa@tp-link.com Thank you, Newegg Support

Can you trunk 2 lan ports to connect to a 2gb/s switch?

There is no such thing as a 2Gbps switch and trunk means something different that what you're thinking. What you're asking is if you can use Link Aggregation, and the answer to that is yes. You would select the option in the routers settings and use the LAN2 and LAN 3 ports. That would give you an aggregate 2Gbps link, so long as the switch ALSO supports link aggregation. Both devices need to support it to work.

Does it now or will it by a firmware update support WPA3?

It now supports WPA3 through a firmware update.

Does it support access point mode?

Hello, Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question. Yes, there is a mode where you can turn this router into an access point. Thank you, Newegg Support
