Hi,

which home router would be best for home usage with 10GbE equiped NAS?

Specifically, I am thinking about buying UGreen DXP6800 Pro, it has two 10 GbE ethernet ports. I will populate NAS with SSD drives and use NAS for plex, docker, nextcloud, and backup with TrueNAS Scala installed as an OS. Initially, I will buy 1 GbE internet from my ISP, but I may upgrade to 2.5 GbE internet if it proves necessary.

My search so far landed me on these three routers:

• TP-link Archer BE550

  • 1x 2.5 GbE WAN
  • 4 x 2.5 GbE LAN

• Zyxel G5 Armor AX6000

  • 1x 2.5 GbE WAN
  • 1x 10 GbE LAN
  • 4x 1 GbE LAN

• UniFi Dream Router

  • 1x 1 GbE WAN
  • 4 x 1 GbE LAN
  • Great Software

With TP-link I get all five ethernet ports 2.5 GbE, with Zyxel I get 1x 2.5 GbE WAN and 10GbE for NAS. UniFi, on the other hand, has incredible software but it only has 1 GbE ports.

What are your thoughts? Feel free to recommend any other router you think is better than ones listed.

Thanks!
