I may soon be upgrading to 2.5Gbps internet, however all the routers that support said speed seem to be expensive. Is there any that cost less than $100?

    Out of curiosity, why are you not sure if adding a 2.5G NIC would work? From my reading almost any PCI-E port should be able to handle line speed for a 2.5 gigabit connection except PCI-E 3 x1.

      Many of the 2.5g optics don’t comply with standards and may not work in some devices.

      I’ve never done it so I can’t say for certain.

      I typically buy purpose built routers which advertise routing speed benchmarks
