New Router is impressive
 
I bought a new router which is the TPLink BE9300 V2.

I now get full internet speeds of 1.1\Gbps this is because it has 5 2.5GBE ports where my last router only had 1 2.5GBE port which was the wan port.

Best £159 I've spent in a long time.

You mean the whole Mesh system ?

A 2.5G port on just my router would be of little use to me atm.
I would need to change all my network switches and PC ports to be 2.5G as well.

Paul they are backward compatible.

I have a 1GBE switch running and its all hunky dory.

That wasnt really the point - you cant get higher speeds out of them.
Ports on a 1GB switch still only run at 1GB max, even if connected to a 2.5GB router port.
