ASUS Shows Off its First Gaming Grade WiFi 7 Routers

Because idiots. This router is a no-go because of this lacking functionality.
Old twisted pairs connection doesn't work for faster speeds, and the internet providers require direct optic fibre to the client.
We don't even mention the large advantages of passive networks over optic fibres.

Don't buy it. Problem fixed.

Is there any routers with a dedicated fiber optic port? Can you name some? My ISP provides some cheap Chinese one and if I can replace it, it will be great

Is it supposed to look like this (the port):

Lol, what is direct fiber?

If it costs so much money why doesn't it include a fiber port.

Ask Asus for reasons. In many countries isn't available optic to home lines. In most countries where this is available this option in fact, it is not very widespread territorially.

This a high end niche product sold in rich countries with good internet infrastructure (excluding the US), it should have all the features. The ones you get from ISP are better, you get a whole system with router, multimedia box for TV and USB.
This is a joke, it does only one tiny job for huge amount of money.

You are free to invest in inventing and manufacturing a router with a variety of functionalities according to your personal desire. Do it.

For gaming? Nah. The old cable is reliable as fk. Cheaper, basically with zero latency and zero interference.
Why bother to have 9.6 Gbps on your rig x router, to just hit 600Mb on your IPS modem? Cable is the goat
