#1 D-Link Aquila Pro AI R95
5.0

Three 2.5Gb LAN ports provide enough high-speed wired connections for devices such as a gaming PC and NAS.

Pros: Wi-Fi 7 support, Wi-Fi speed

#2 Fritz!Box 5690 Pro
5.0

The four extra gigabit LAN ports are genuinely useful for NAS boxes, adapters and other wired gear, even though their individual speeds are conservative.

Pros: telephony features, value for money

Cons: LAN port speed, wall-mounting support

#3 GL.iNet GL-BE3600 Slate 7
5.0

Having two Ethernet ports, both at 2.5GbE, is unusually generous for a travel router. It lets the Slate 7 maintain a fast wired WAN and a fast local wired device...

Pros: VPN client support, value for money

Cons: 6 GHz performance, USB storage sharing

#4 MSI Roamii BE Pro
4.5

The generous Ethernet selection on both nodes stood out, giving users room for multiple wired devices at both mesh locations.

Pros: value for money, design and appearance

Cons: node pairing ease, outdoor coverage

#5 Netgear Nighthawk M7
2.7

There is no built-in Ethernet jack, so wired networking requires a USB-C adapter or cradle. That keeps the body compact but adds cost and accessories.

Pros: eSIM flexibility, cellular connectivity

Cons: interface responsiveness, Ethernet port count
