Last year I was lucky enough to get access to 10 Gb/s home internet for $40/month. Ironically my ISP can not provide me with a router capable of handling more than 1 Gb/s. For $40/month that’s acceptable - I’m paying less than most people do for Gigabit anyway. But I wanted to experience the full power of 10 Gb/s.

Looking around it’s clear there isn’t much consumer networking hardware built for 10 Gb/s. Many of the routers advertised as 10 Gb/s only have 2.5 Gb/s WAN ports combined with WiFi 6E. So from your WiFi 6E capable device to the router there is a theoretical best case bandwidth of 10.8 Gb/s. But from your router to the internet you’ve got a pipe less than a quarter that size.
