Longtime reader, first-time poster. Forgive me if I’ve missed it somewhere else in these articles...When can we expect 10GbE on these WiFi routers? I don’t understand the ridiculous WiFi speeds, and then the skimpy hardline speeds. I just built a 5000 sq ft house and wired it with 12 Cat7a copper lines to all the major areas to future proof it to the best of my ability. MoBo’s are finally starting to get at least 10GbE on-board, but very little advancements in this area with routers. Best deal I can find for my needs so far is Netgear’s XS512EM for around $900.

It will be a long time before you see 10 GigE embedded into routers as it easily adds a 100 bucks price premium. However, the first ones with support for 2.5 or 5 GigE will be released this year (starting with AX WIFI routers).
It doesn't prevent you from creating a 10 GigE LAN though. I do have some reviews upcoming with a router, repeater and 10 GigE switch from Netgear where I'll perform some testing. Also, the first consumer 10 GigE NAS from ASUSTOR arrived and will be reviewed soon. To get them juices flowing: ...

over-priced and ugly as sin. no doubt it's effective, but having one of these means searching for a hiding place, more of them? no way.
in any case, that "back-to-the-future-Aztec" look is really inappropriate for a router, even for a ROG enthusiast.
it certainly has kept me from buying many fine pieces of Asus kit.
