[PLUG] Router recommendations for pending Ziply Fiber upgrade

[King Beowulf]

Hello PLUGgers,

I'm dumping Comcast/Xfinity (1Gbs/40Mps) for fiber 2 Gbps.  Ziply 
finally got around to pulling fiber in my neighborhood for the last few 
months (everything here is buried).

I am soliciting recommendations for 2.5Gbe gateway/routers - I am not 
"renting" the Ziply wifi router.

I am currently using a Watchguard Firebox M300 (OpenWrt 24.10) set up 
with 2 LANs, one of which feeds one private network to the WAN of my 
Linksys WRT1900ACS for my "personal" network.  The other LAN is a public 
DMZ, no WIFI, for my hobby server (game severs, Mumble, Gopher, web site 
backend db, etc.).  Both networks have firewall/BanIP and remote access 
on WAN side is disabled.


I'm not looking for Wifi since what I have is plenty and is used only 
for the iPad, iPhone, roomba vacuum and the occasional guest.

I'm wired with mostly CAT 6 throughout the house, although there are 
some CAT 5e segments I haven't replaced yet.


Specifications - wired gateway router:

2.5Gbe WAN, 10Gbe would be nice should I decide to upgrade
4 port 2.5Gbe switch
Optional SFP+
No WIFI
OpenWRT preferred


I'll take a gateway with WIFI if no other reasonable choice < $500 is 
available, with < $300 preferred.

One that looks pretty nifty is:

Ubiquiti Gateway Fiber (UXG-Fiber)

I am not familiar with the Ubiquiti firmware and would like to avoid any 
"value added" subscriptions and marketing.

TP-Link

I'm not brand loyal; anything of good quality will do.

Thanks,
Ed
