Wifi 6E router with 5gbs or faster ethernet outputs? (alien.top)

So I'm planning on replacing my aging wifi 5 routers (three in my house) with wifi 6E routers, as I now have enough wireless devices that could take advantage of the upgraded speeds. I figured that I would also like to find wifi 6E routers that have 5gbs ethernet or faster outputs so I could also upgrade the NICs on my wired devices and one day increase the speed that my ISP offers, as due to my current wifi routers are preventing me from upgrading from my current 1gbs speeds.

Anyways, do any of you know of wifi 6E routers that have 5gbs or faster ethernet outputs?
All I can seem to find is one or two wifi 6E routers that offer 2.5gbs.

Thanks.

I mean just grab TP-Link's WiFi 7 router.

4x2.5Gbps LAN port, 2x10Gbps WAN/LAN ports, SFP, and another 1Gbps LAN port.

For a serious, future proof upgrade... i'd not look at anything else right now.

haha wifi 7 might be overkill for me for the next 10 years or so, but I do like the port options.

5 Gbps is overkill.

6E is just WiFi6 with additional 6GHz band, while WiFi7 brings new features such as MLO. With current prices it just doesn’t make sense to get a 6E router now.
