Hi everyone,

I currently have an AX86U and AC88U in mesh. Upgraded to 3Gbps fiber connection, and running into issue of the AX86U only having a single 2.5G port since it handles all the routing for my traffic. Would the gt-axe16000 be a good upgrade or is there something cheaper that would accomplish the same thing? Or would the GT-AX11000 Pro be fine, allowing me to use a 2.5 or 10gbe switch for the rest of my wired devices?
For context, I do run a VPN, have a NAS, and about 20-30 wifi total devices (most being smart home stuff) running.

GT-AXE16000 is one of the few high-end models with no Asuswrt 5.0 (3006) firmware yet. The hardware is most likely compatible, but there is some issue upgrading it to the newer firmware branch. The same with ZenWiFi Pro ET12. Must be something Wi-Fi 6E related. Get BE-class router instead.
