2.5 gbps ports x5 on newer model nighthawks....
I was wondering if Nighthawk would start producing a 2.5 gbps gaming router since, 10% of the computers today are shipped with 2.5 gbps ethernet gaming cards on motherboards....I have a TPLink router...

NGs XR700 has a SFP port that you could put a 2.5Gb or even a 10Gb SFP to ethernet adapter in. I have on in mine. Though LAN ports are limited to 1Gb as is the WAN port.
Really no gaming needs 2.5Gb speeds realistically. But maybe someday.
The announced RS700 has both WAN and LAN 10Gb ports on it.
I'm enjoying a Orbi 960 series with 10Gb WAN and 2.5Gb LAN ports though.
Something to post here about though:

Good Luck.
