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.

Im a huge fan of Aruba/HPE network gear in SMB to large corporations and schools. If you really want to utilize your full 5gig speeds, you’ll have to pay for it… Aruba makes an AP-635 model with 2x 2.5 gbps lan connections that can be aggregated together. Also give you full network and power redundancy. Throw in a 10gbps switch and you’re about $2k. Add another $800 per AP you may need if you have a large house. This would give you the latest wifi 6e. (I’ll leave my opinions out) Theoretically this should give you about 4.2gbps wireless, but in real work scenarios, your not going to see more then a 2-2.4gbps down/upload speed per device. Often this is attributed to environmental factors and the limitation of network cards in your devices. Plus running mesh will never be as fast as hard wired….but, it can be done.
