I currently have 5gb internet but on a google nest system. I recently found out some mesh routers such as the orbi RBKE963 or the tp link deco XE200 have direct 10gb uplink ports. What other mesh products exist with uplink ports in them? Doesn’t have to be 10gb as I said my internet is 5gb.

ASUS AXE16000 has 10GbE ports. ASUS has other routers like the RT-AX89X that has 10GbE. 10GbE or 2.5GbE are going to be the norm for most router devices or mesh systems with higher speed capacity. 5GbE is not a widely used standard for these devices. The newer the better though in order to support the speed as well as multiple devices and have a longer use life of the device. If you’re looking for a mesh system, those support it but the ASUS XT12 Pro or similar devices will be better-ish but all of their more recent models support the AiMesh system, but the Zenwifi devices are more intended for this practice. They put out regular updates as well for security and functionality that is unrivaled in my experience.
