xb10 will it have a 10GB port
Will the new XB10 have a 10GB port on it. If it is to support multi-Gig internet then a 10GB port would be needed to achieve the speeds for multi-Gig even the Gig plus plan would definite from a multi-Gig or 10GB port. My home router the Orbi 970 has a 10GB port for internet and the internal network.

Check here for the official info on the XB10. Looks like it has at least 1 10Gbe port.

Yup. I really can't understand their decision for their latest and greatest gateway device having only gigabit ethernet ports...... I guess that they are banking on the WiFi 7 to be able to deliver some level of multi-gig speeds, and that many, if not most customers, will use only the WiFi anyway..... [[[[ shrugs shoulders ]]]].

Even if servers across the open internet can't deliver multi-gig speeds, it would be nice to know that you could get multi-gig inter LAN transfers via wired ports with the XB10....

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding. The XB10 has two 10Gbe ports and two 1Gbe ports.
If you’re running your own router, you only need one of those 10Gbe ports, and a router capable of 10Gbe.
While I agree it is disappointing that not all four ports are 10Gbe, and yes, that’s inexcusable, there are still two 10Gbe ports available.

Can't expect much from dumbed-down / average consumer-grade ISP-provided gear...... Want professional results, get your own third-party high-quality networking equipment !!

OK, thank you. They appear to be authoring incorrect, incomplete, and conflicting information. Nothing new there..... They've been doing that forever...... The first link you posted stated this: "Gb Ethernet ports = 4". And your tone seemed so certain going only by that statement, if you know what I mean. And the Link that I posted mentions four gig ports and nothing about 10 gigabit ports......
Oh well... Perhaps one day they will get their act together..... 🙄

Hmmm.. I reviewed that post's system activity history log, and there is no indication of the forum bot deleting or privatizing anything. Whereas, your latest post with the screenshot was indeed privatized by the bot, which I just made publicly viewable again. Go figure....
