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’m running 2 AX89X routers in AI Mesh (10 GbE wired backhaul) with wifi 6.

I tried the AXE-16000 but for whatever reason, I couldn’t get past 200 megabit on wifi 6 devices. And I tried everything. On an 8 gigabit symmetrical fibre connection.

Our ISP is brutal and uses PPPoE for authentication, so for our use case, the router has to have NAT acceleration working correctly to get full speed. Using a QNAP switch to break out the 10 GbE to extra ports. I saturate the network fully with this setup and it’s been really solid.
