It appears this is what the customer bought:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FJ2TQRW

To find a brand name you have to watch the video, it's apparently a Tamifly 
from DiJi, or is it LucaSng?

Amazon will be the death of us, with 3rd party Chinese sellers and Chinese crap 
they bought off Alibaba and are reselling.  Then they get phony "reviewers" to 
post glowing reviews to phony review sites.  And Amazon says "Amazon's Choice 
for diji wifi router" and the listing says "Newest 2020" and it's a high speed 
gaming router ideal for home office & HD video streaming works great with any 
devices.

Amazon always sells the best stuff, right?  Like a Tamifly gaming router for 
$50.  What could go wrong?  Like big gaping security flaws?  Why are we worried 
about Huawei and ZTE when our citizens install this crap on their home Internet?

Yeah, and I was dumbfounded, he was talking stuff like "what's the iperf 
numbers for your network"   I was thinking he had a clue, but somewhere 
he fell into the IFM trap...  When he said there wasn't an ethernet anywhere, I 
think my jaw actually dropped because he gave me a look.
