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’d start looking at enterprise or prosumer equipment, tbh.

Last gen enterprise equipment, like a couple Ruckus R730’s (~$100/ea) with a zonedirector (~$180) will do 5gb internet (I believe), but you’ll also never have any downtime. Enterprise equipment will run for months without a hiccup.

And ubiquiti would be my second recommendation. As they’re supposed to be an excellent prosumer grade product. Extremely good user experience, and just about competitive with enterprise equipment. It’s just costly to do ubiquiti, I believe.

But heck, ubiquiti is STILL cheaper than like the fast Orbis. And you’ll be way happier in the long run.
