Hello,
i was wondering are there any routers currently on sale for either home or corporate use which supports 10GbE speed over their LAN ports?
Or alternately can aggregate couple 1GbE LAN ports together for the total to be the sum of all?
although i would prefer the 10GbE router solution.

thanks@
 
Just FYI:
- avoid port aggregation like a plague ... it's not part of ethernet standard "standard" so it will require you to use a specific hardware etc etc ... not worth the hassle.
- not a lot of point to have a 10GBe port on router that can do not more than 1gb routing & not more than 1gb of realistic wifi (don't get fooled by AC5300 numbers ... it's all "perfect world" pipe dream ... reality is different & much slower ).

Personally, since this routers are still a bit far out in the future I would invest in solid 10gbe switch with a lot of switching power ( yeah ... there is a switching power :) "so what you have 20 x 1gbe ports giving a full duplex 40gbe bandwidth if internals can only switch 5gbe" :D ) and use this a backbone of your network ... you know to do all the heavy lifting, and use router as a router - entering data from outside world into your network ... maybe doing some wifi access point ?! All interesting stuff like 10gbe nas boxes and anything with that much through put ... plug into your good switch and you're golden for next 5 years !!! ;)
 
if you dont mind splurging cash the CCR1072 has 8 SFP+ ports and the CPU needed to support almost 80Gb/s of NAT. In terms of LACP because all ports are CPU connected and not switch it supports it much better.

RMerlin pointed out that the AC5300 and such have CPU connected ports too so it is capable of more than 1 link's worth of connectivity but it only hast the CPU to max out one link for NAT but for LAN any router will do layer 3 routing at wirespeed.
