Best Wi-Fi Routers for LAN port speed

#1 D-Link Aquila Pro AI R95
5.0

The 2.5Gb LAN ports are praised for delivering top-speed wired connections to demanding local devices.

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

#2 GL.iNet GL-BE3600 Slate 7
5.0

The 2.5Gbps LAN port is a real performance advantage rather than a paper specification. Short-range testing showed over-2Gbps wired throughput and a clear edge over a rival with slower LAN.

Pros: VPN client support, value for money

Cons: 6 GHz performance, USB storage sharing

#3 Fritz!Box 5690 Pro
2.2

Wired speed is the most repeated hardware complaint: four LAN ports are only gigabit and the faster port tops out at 2.5GbE, which limits high-end NAS and local transfers.

Pros: telephony features, value for money

Cons: LAN port speed, wall-mounting support
