I just received 2.5GB, but the router and modem I got from my ISP are really lacking. The nice part is the fiber optic connection reaches it directly—no small adapter needed. I was wondering if similar setups exist from other reputable companies. I used to have a Netvision router that performed well but only supported 1GB, but as long as it works, I don’t mind the brand.

They're becoming pricier, so grab the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 WiFi Cable & Router - AX 11000. Currys offers it with a 2.5Gb port, though you can always purchase a separate router. Edit: I spotted this one. TP-LINK Archer GX90 is cheaper but only has a 2.5Gb port, which isn't great. NETGEAR Nighthawk 12-Stream WiFi 6E Router (RAXE500) provides better value with 2.5Gb LAN and full 6GHz support, covering up to 10.8 Gbps. Amazon.co.uk lists it under Computers & Accessories.
