Ports + Speeds?

[axelgaminguk]

Afternoon,

I got the R3 and never looked at the ports etc. Quick questions to the Devs / Creators if there on here.

1) Why did you stick to 1gbps and not 2.5gbps? Most internets now go upto 10gbps in the UK and I am just curious as to why it wasnt fitted with 2.5gbps. I have 2gbps network but can only use 1gbps now

2) Why only 4 ports? I am currently running wired 2 gaming PC's and 2 Stream PC's and thats all the ports done. This is probably the average use, would it not have been better to go 8 ports or even 5 ports? 

Just wondering if there is a reason for it all and if so why? Also will there be a updated Router soon with the 2.5gbps ports etc. If i was to Design a router nowadays id be looking at a 10gbps WAN with 2 10gbps ports and 4 2.5gbps ports

I covered the first question here: https://forum.netduma.com/topic/56881-why-dont-you-guys-have-a-router/?do=findComment&comment=423225 but I'd love to know where you're living, I've not seen any ISP near 10Gbps in the UK.

Most home consumer routers have 4 ports. If someone requires more they would usually get a switch.

That would be a great router, however, it'd also have a massive price to match!
