Russell is correct. I am planning to update my internal network step by step from 1 Gbps to 2.5 Gbps. I will need at least 1 each WAN/LAN at 2.5 Gbps. I don't necessarily need 10 Gbps as the Ubiqity or Alta Labs provides. I did find this and think I will order today ($200 at amazon). Openwrt has its two older versions, Flint 1 and Flint 2, in the TOH. GL.iNet GL-BE9300 (Flint 3) Tri-Band WiFi 7 Router https://www.amazon.com/GL-iNet-GL-BE9300-Tri-Band-High-Speed-Wireless/dp/B0FB8X43KJ That should hold me until I replace the Watchguard Firebox M300, among other 1Gbps "legacy" stuff. -Ed
