I explored multi-gig mesh systems using Wi-Fi 6 and discovered the OBI-RX Ax6000. I noticed that the available multi-gig ports are limited, but I'm unsure if there exist multi-gig mesh networks featuring both multi-gig WAN and LAN ports.

You require 10Gbit Ethernet for strong wired connectivity in a WiFi mesh system. For such high-speed needs, install a dedicated 10Gbit switch positioned ahead of the mesh nodes.

Probably not. 10 Gbps seems costly. 2.5 and 5 Gbps are still emerging technologies, which contributes to their higher prices. Multi Gigabit isn't typical for everyday consumers; it's more suited for professional or business equipment. The cost is likely high. I'm skeptical that WiFi 6 can handle multi-gig speeds either. It seems surprising they included a 2.5Gbps port, as most ISPs probably won't offer those rates. Besides, the devices I know usually only come with 1 Gbps or 100 Mbps ports. 2.5 Gbps networking is quite new—only a few switches support it, and many are actually 10Gbps. What are your plans for multi-gigabit?
