I may soon be upgrading to 2.5Gbps internet, however all the routers that support said speed seem to be expensive. Is there any that cost less than $100?

    After some research, it seems there is a huge mark up for consumer grade routers outside of China.

    For example a Asus ax6000 router with dual 2.5Gb ports cost only cost only $110 in china while a similar version I can get locally cost $300. Also there seem to be a local forum thread discussing those routers from and perhaps I am beter served finding answers there.

    Also I tried pfsense some time ago with only Gigabit NIC and eventually repurposed the machine as a hypervisor. Maybe I can go back to pfsense but considering I need to get a 2.5Gb network card and the power requirements required for a software router to route 2.5G internet I am not too keen.
