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.

I use the Orbi Pro and it has wired or wireless backhaul. I also use one of the satellites on my desk as an ethernet port for my desktop. I run it bridged with a pfsense router and it's been great.

I have 2Gbps fiber.

To be honest, none of my devices are capable of using the 2Gpbs as I think the best tops out at like 1.2.... So if you want to future proof keep that in mind, but so far the devices haven't kept up.

Also, I've spent a lot of time in Italy and your apartments are smaller than our places so you may only need 1 satellite. In my American house I have 3 floors and 325 sqm. To much overlap on a mesh can hurt speed.
