I don't plan to nor am I trying to get 10 gigabytes over the internet I just want to be able to have the best connection to my USB storage device as well as have a connection to the internet. When I'm transferring 10 or 12 movies from my main Drive to my USB external drive that's connected via USB 3.0 I'm only getting about 50 or 60 megabytes per second transfer rate from my main computer to the drive with the 10 gigabit connection I should be able to maximize the USB 3.0 skip abilities with the way my way to set up and guess between 120 and 240 megabytes per second give or take.FWIW, smallnetbuilder.com was only able to get 103.7 megabytes per second out of the USB 3.0 port (link). Even a Gigabit port can handle that.
While perfectly workable, I don't see the XS708Ev2/XS716 as a complimentary switch - wrong format, fan, not sexy, ... - to match the R9000.
Prices for Gigabit interfaces and per switch port were much higher at the same technology life cycle. And it is not that long ago, that consumer routers came with Fast Ethernet only. Gigabit prices have collapsed - when we see low cost GbE interfaces or "dumb" five/eight port switches for a hand full of Dollars - this can't be a healthy development. And this crash has created most of the price gap.

That I would like plus 10 giga speeds on the wifi as long your putting a dream list together I know there are no wifi devices in use today in the home that supports 10 giga connections but as long it is a possible dream feature list for a super router for the future the sky is the limit it will be interesting to see what real world version will bring to a supper router.

The IEEE is on it. 802.11ax is in the works, and the goal is 5x the speed of 802.11ac. Probably not until 2019 or so though.
That's not 10 gpbs (except perhaps in labs), but it is still an impressive jump. Prices have to come way down on the 10 gbps wired side though.
