I feel super stupid. I literally just seen the little slot for it. I googled the adapter which made me go look for it. You recommend one?

are there any netgear routers that use the duma os that will support 2 gig off the ethernet ports?

No.
Only the RAXE500, RAX200, RAX120 and Orbi RBK850 series and RBKE960 series have multi gig WAN ports. The RBKE960 series have a 10Gb WAN port and 1x 2.5Gb LAN port.
The announced RS700 has both 10GB WAN and LAN ports.
