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?

    It’ll be hard to find one at that price. You may find something with a 2.5G NIC but whether or not it will actually route at line speed is highly unlikely.

    Your best bet to keep prices low is to add a 2.5G NIC to an old PC. Even that may not work

      Out of curiosity, why are you not sure if adding a 2.5G NIC would work? From my reading almost any PCI-E port should be able to handle line speed for a 2.5 gigabit connection except PCI-E 3 x1.
