Multigig WAN

I understand this. But now I have an 10Gbit Internet in home.
Provider gave me Nokia XGS-Pon router with 1 Ethernet LAN for 10Gbit.
I connected it to my SFP+ Mirktoik router. And now my idea to get good couple wi-fi routers.
Cause in our flat we have an office and childten who learn remotely. So W-Fi should be 3 band. But it would be good if it will have 5Gb at least WAN. I found Asus but it is only 2 band but 10Gbit. And honestly say last time when I have contact with Asus it was terrible. I had to restart it very often.
Then I switched to Apple Extreme AirPort, then to Synology. But now time to choose one new brand. :) And Netgear looks good but they dont have 3 band with 5Gb WAN :(

I think about it exactly. but i cant find review with comparing performance, what latency is there.

Essentially you build a 10G/MultiGig (ideally with PoE+ or PoE++ support eg. for the APs) with links where you intend to deploy wireless access points, where you need wired connection for printers and so on. As you already have a powerful router from what I understand, I guess you will keep that one. Latency? Switches are switches, small business class wireless access points are just wireless APs, no NAT router, ...
