2.5G Routers

Quick Question I see these Routers are 2.5 gig. Its great that I can get WAN speed of 2.5 but what good is a router that is filled with 1 gig Lan ports. Why are these not 2.5 Lan ports. I am not sure I understand the point of having a router than can aceive 2.5G speeds but cant hand that speed off to Access Points etc.
Hi @johngalt
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
It has 1 fixed 2.5G WAN and 1 2.5G WAN/LAN.
You can connect a 2.5G switch to the WAN/LAN and set it to LAN.
For anyone who asks the same question regarding a 10G model 8411 or other models, just remember that the proper way to connect the router for extended ports is to connect a proper switch. If you ask why there is only a single port, you are not ready for business-grade products.
For anyone who asks why we don't have a full 2.5G or 10G models:
These models are usually equipped with two ports for one WAN and one LAN. If there are no proper models for your multiple(at least 3 2.5 or 10G ISP lines), you can fill a request. We have not seen too much of the request for a full 2.5G or 10G router from the pro-consumers. Omada Pro series might have customized hardware to satisfy our partners and contracts. Yet, we don't see a willingness to pay extra for a full 10G(RJ45 or optical) router.
And bear in mind, that the higher the port speed, the higher the cost. Eventually, the price goes up. 10G RJ45 would cost more and the price would go up by scale and exponentially.
