I'm confused on how exactly to get our 8Gb fiber internet to multiple devices
you will need a router that has 2 10Gb ports one for wan and one for lan, your current router is limited to 2.5Gb on lan physically. The ASUS RT-BE88U has 2 10Gb ports so if you were to get this it is an affordable router that you can then connect a 10Gb switch to the 10GB lan side of the router and

Need help choosing a router.
Whoa! $899 for a router? (ASUS GT-19000AI). Based on what your stated needs are, I agree with u/Junior_Resource_608 that this router may exceed your needs. The ASUS BT-BE98 Pro ($628) is also rather pricey. While you would know best what you truly need, I have some thoughts to share. I think you could

Just received my eero pro 6e device and need advice
There are plenty of 2.5Gbps throughput routers out there. Currently, I’m using an ASUS RT-BE88U because I want 10gbps LAN (for Plex / NAS access). It’s a really good router, but somewhat overkill for most people and not what you’d call cheap. Another person has already said it too - what devices do

1.5 vs 3 gig fibre?
Personally, I use an Asus RT-BE88U. That is overkill for a lot of people because it has 4 1Gbit ports, 4 2.5Gbit ports, and a 10Gbit WAN and SFP+ ports.

Eero mesh system on Full Fibre max - extenders or more pro 6Es?
Got onto the same plan and found the eero router to be inadequate for the throughput over WiFi. Good excuse to upgrade my existing router (an ancient Netgear R7800) and ended up going with the asus RT-BE88U. Double the speed over WiFi, and literally billions of network ports on the back which have c

Are those on 5GB/s getting top speed on speed testing?
Asus RT-BE88U, I highly recommend it. 10gb out too so you can connect to a 10gb switch etc.

Upgrade to 5Gbps but unable to get that speed.
Asus RT-BE88U, really great replacement, has 2 10g ports (one sfp+ needs same adaptor you have) but 8 other 2.5gb & 1gb ports. It was a straight replacement with my 3gb service so simply plug and play but I'd check first.

Just Upgraded
i personally use the ASUS RT-BE88U it has 2x10g ports one being a sfp+ port so if you have fiber there is no need for a modem and it also has 8 additional lan ports 4x2.5 g and 4x1g also its wifi7 wireless and i have had this router for a year now and it is amazing now your modem depends on your ISP

Best performing 5-gbit /10gig capable router.
I have the Asus RT-BE88U and I love it. 10g wan and a 10g spf+ lan that you can convert to ethernet if you like.

Can you use multiple routers?
not true regarding not recommended to have multiple in the same house. look up asus hardwired aimesh. i have this configuration (two asus rt be88u routers) and it works great. of course, the config assumes you have ethernet at least to each router. most of my devices are ethernet but the aimesh then
