Router for having 2 computers with 2.5g wired (alien.top)

I recently changed my ISP package to 10Gb fiber (because it was 5 euros more than 1Gb). I am aware that having 10Gb wired is expensive and mostly not needed, but I still want to have more than 1Gb coming to the 2 computers in my house to get some advantage of having 10Gb speed.

I was looking at some ASUS routers and my question is: If I have 1 port 2.5g WAN and 2 ports 10Gb LAN, can I have 2.5Gb going to both computers?

Ps: I tried to Google it but only found more complexes situations.

Yes, the Asus routers are flexible and you can use any of the multi-gig ports for the WAN and the rest will be LAN ports. For example the [GT-AXE16000]Imgur.
