I recently changed my ISP package to 10Gb fiber (because it was 5 euros more than 1Gb). I am aware that having 10Gb wired is expensive and mostly not needed, but I still want to have more than 1Gb coming to the 2 computers in my house to get some advantage of having 10Gb speed.

I was looking at some ASUS routers and my question is: If I have 1 port 2.5g WAN and 2 ports 10Gb LAN, can I have 2.5Gb going to both computers?

Ps: I tried to Google it but only found more complexes situations.

    No you cannot, it is going to be a max of 2.5G coming in, ideally you’d want a 10G in and 1G to each port, what this does is allows TEN devices to run at a full 1G, this is a more reasonable scenario for a home user.

    Your still going to probably need either a prosumer router and probably a prosumer switch like mikrotik/unifi/omada to get what you want out of this.

    Something like this: https://mikrotik.com/product/rb4011igs_rm would get you 10G in and 1G out to each as I suggested.
