Support for RT-BE96U/GT-BE98 (wifi 7) router

Dual 10GB ports would actually be very useful.. not for me especially since I already have an second switch to handle 10Gb between two of my machines... but in a perfect world I would be buying a router with 2x10GBs NOW and don't need an extra switch.

(edit: perhaps the models are not released yet?? x))
