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.
I have an Asus RT-AX89X with 10 gbps fiber wan and works flawlessly
If you're looking to increase your wired LAN speeds, it will probably be cheaper and easier to get an mGig-capable switch that is separate from the router. This will handle all of your LAN devices at up to 10 Gb/s, and you can uplink the switch to one of the ports on your router. For the most part, your router really only needs to support the speed of your Internet connection. Any local traffic between wired devices on the LAN will never traverse the router.
Honestly you're better off getting a non-wireless router and switch with sfp+ ports and back hauling them with 10gb transceivers, then just get a wifi6e AP. Microtik makes a real nice set of switches with dual sfp+ and multiple 2.5gbe ports.
Negotiating 5 gigabits was widely skipped to 10gb, which has more support than even 2.5gb.
Or skip learning what that all means and just get a wifi6e router with a 2.5gbe wan.
make sure first off.
its not draft version of wifi 6.
seeing wifi 5 had a awful thing with this.
their a reason 3 or 4 version of speed in wifi 5 routers.
