Would like to see more routers with 8+ ports

[dosborne]

Back in the day, I preferred a separate switch (or multiple actually) but for simplicity and space savings, currently it is more feasible for me to run everything directly off the 8 ports in my AX-88U. I have numerous switches (4, 8 16) sitting in boxes in the closet but will run this as long as possible. I'd also like to see a replacement in the future with 8 or more ports, but 1 port would also be fine.

I like a router with 8 ports also. One less power brick and one less thing to stop working...

The BE88U and the AX88U Pro should of had 8 ports. For the prices we are paying for these routers. It would be nice to have 8x2.5gig and two 10gig WAN/LAN.

We had 1gig Ethernet when I finished school. I'm close to retirement now.

ServeTheHome did a video reviewing all these numeros inexpensives alternatives. I haven't had time to watch it yet, but I expect it to be fairly informative:

MEGA 2.5GbE Switch Guide Update with 21 New Models Added

In our new Mega 2.5GbE Switch Round-up 2024 edition, we cover 21 new switches. New options have more ports, PoE+, management, and more

So far I have been fully satisfiied with my Mokerlink (which was already very popular on Amazon) and Vimin (no issue so far providing PoE to my IP phone, and routing traffic to my whole PC setup).

thanks just what I was looking for , skip the video , unless you like watching used car salesmen
