So you can get 2.5 gbps into it but you can't get it back out again. It's really time these companies move past 1gbps ports. Especially for $500+

My thoughts, exactly. My cable modem has a 2.5 Gbps port (not that I can get that much, but you can theoretically do more than 1 Gbps). The next router I'm buying will have a 2.5 Gbps WAN and LAN port, so it's really a matter of when I upgrade. The fact that Netgear's newest, high-end routers are still not including 2x 2.5 Gbps ports is definitely disappointing.

And that's why Netgear's fallen behind. Other routers (including those from TP-Link, Asus, etc) have multiple multi-gig ports. My router is using a 2.5gbe WAN port (for AT&T fiber) and two 10gbe ports to go to switches that further distribute the wired conectivity at varying speeds.

actually it does support lan speeds higher then 1 gigabit :

"You can also boost your wired speeds by linking two GbE LAN ports together for a combined 2 Gbps. "

but you best be connecting to a switch with link aggregation, so any device connected to that switch would also have access to that connection speed to the router.

link aggregation is an interesting thing to play with....

i am currently looking at a router that as a 2.5 wan, can link aggregate 2 gigabit lan ports, and it has a 10g port as well... but i agree, its time they started adding more more 2.5 gigabit ( or higher ) lan ports to these routers...
