TP-Link, ASUS & Mercusys wifi-6 & 6E Routers with 2.5gbps ports are here in India. These router are ready for next phase of multi gigabit fiber broadband speeds in India. With 1Gbps wan port one couldn’t cross 950mbps speed barrier due to overheads. We already know that Jio has 10gig OLT already in place(thanks to youtube video from jio employees) pan India & Airtel is hopefully in same boat(else they’ll upgrade like always).
So expect these 1.5gbps, 2gbps & 2.5gbps plan very soon hopefully. So be ready with these multi gigabit ports router. Even if you have 1gbps speeds you can’t get full 1000mbps speed due to port speed limitations. So why not upgrade to multi gig routers and be safe for atleast next 5 years …

Routers with 2.5Gbps ports, also known as 2.5Gig Ethernet ports, provide a faster connection to wired devices than traditional gigabit ports. They are designed to support high-speed internet connections and can transfer data at speeds up to 2.5Gbps (2500Mbps). This is roughly 2.5 times faster than standard Gigabit Ethernet, which supports speeds up to 1Gbps (1000Mbps).
These routers typically have a separate 2.5Gbps port for connecting to a Wan for internet or in some acses 2.5Gbps-enabled device, such as a gaming console, desktop computer or NAS, which can take advantage of the faster speeds. Additionally, these routers also have Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports for connecting other devices that don’t support 2.5Gbps speeds or only fast ethernet ports.
It’s worth noting that having a 2.5Gbps port on the router does not automatically mean that your internet connection will be 2.5Gbps, it will only support that high speed between the router and the device that is connected to the 2.5Gbps port. The actual internet speed will depend on your internet service provider and the speed of your internet plan.
