Some routers require an external modem in order to communicate over public infrastructure such as phone or cable lines. In this case, the WAN port will likely take an Ethernet cable.

The original request was for home routers with 2.5Gbit WAN and multiple 2.5Gbit LAN ports so as not to require a separate switch to get more 2.5Gbit ports for the LAN.

Multi-gig routers with 2.5 gigabit Ethernet ports are quickly becoming more common as internet plans with even faster speeds are being rolled out across the U.S.

That problem in question has a lot to do with routers and their limited Ethernet ports. So, in a situation like this, the option is to add more ports, but that’s easier said than done.
