5Gbps WiFi
I currently have a RAXE500 router. I get good speeds - but the Ethernet input is limited to 2Gbps, so the WiFi is capped at that 2Gbps. I have a 5Gbps symmetrical fiber connection, and I’d like to ...
Something that has a 10Gb WAN port. Only one I know of is the Orbi 9 series, has 10Gb WAN, 1 2.5Gb LAN and 3 1Gb LAN ports. The orbi 860 has a 10Gb WAN but only 1Gb LAN ports.
You'll not see anything near 5gb over wifi unless you have 4x4 or higher MIMO devices. I was able to actually see a 4800Mpbs connection rate between my RAXE500 in wireless bridge mode and my 9 series on 6Ghz.
2.5Gb seems to be max rate on the LAN side for wired devices in the consumer domain currently.
There are 10Gb LAN ethernet adapters but still spendy along with Multi Gig LAN switches. My one XS505 was spendy.
