USB Port, DNS Port, and LAN Prots

Does the R6100 WiFi Router have a USB port?
The R6100 WiFi Router has a USB 2.0 port on the back.

Can we close the DNS port on the R6100 router?
NETGEAR home routers can block services and domain names but not the actual port.

Why are the LAN ports on the R6100 only support up to 100 Mbps (and not Gigabit speed)?
The R6100 was designed to provide the fastest Wi-Fi speed at the lowest possible price, with the latest Wi-Fi standard 802.11ac connectivity.
While offering the fastest Wi-Fi to Wi-Fi device communication, and Wi-Fi device to the Internet communication, we realize that the communication between Wi-Fi to Wired device communication can be limited by the Ethernet 100Mbps ports.  At the end, we had to make a balanced decision to trade off the price point at which we offer the product to the consumer and the optimal speed and configuration.
For Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, we offer the R6200, R6250 and R6300.
