Lol 2Gig fiber being common place, and inexpensive, its been awhile since I seen so many incorrect statements in one sentence .
First off, fiber, let alone internet speeds over 500Mbps are not common place, even people in the same cities some parts have it some parts dont.
Average download speed in the USA as of Q1 of 2023 is only around 140Mbps... Most states dont even average over 500Mbps yet alone 1Gbps or even 2Gbps, lol.
Inexpensive is another lie unless your rich and the value of money means nothing to you last I checked $150 a month for a 2gig plan is not affordable for a lot of people that do have it.
Working on roll out of HFC for ISP's in the past and having network engineering experience, always amazes me how uninformed people are about internet in this country, making blanket statements like yours.
As for this router, it reviews very well, but its priced too high, its been under $200 previously on sale, so a pass for now.
Which one? Rt-ax88u pro vs this.
Answered my own question. I'm sticking with the 88u. More memory plus faster processor.
The reality is that most consumers are heavily invested in wireless networks for ease of setup and convenience, which is where the bulk of the cost comes from.
Your fallacy is assuming there's a class of consumer who does enough homework to purchase a 10Gbps NAS (something that isn't as commonplace as you imply) but doesn't do enough homework to know it demands more than consumer grade hardware.
If you need 10Gbps, you're not aiming for consumer routers or Ethernet at all.
SFP+ is not only more affordable, it's ultimately more robust and scalable.

With 2Gbps fiber being common place and inexpensive having only one 2.5Gbps port is going to obsolete it quickly. Either buy a router with two or more 2.5Gbps or save your money and buy a cheaper 1Gbps only model.
In theory, you might get higher than 1Gbps via 6GHz if you're close enough with the right client device. Most devices will top out at 800Mbps or less via 5GHz.
A single 2.5gb port as your wan port is fine. It does show aggregation on the first two 1gb ports so you can have a 2gb wired device but more relevant than that you can still easily max out the 2.5gb WAN connection just by using multiple devices. A couple wired devices with fast downloads going and some wireless devices and you've easily got a combined speed well above 1gb and are benefiting from the 2.5gb port without any single device needing to max out their connection.

Ax88u pro has Merlin support while this does not.

RT-AX88U isnt as stable as RT-AX86U. I have both and it seems Asus gives more love to the 86.

Wrong geometric shape.
That's why I said "looks like."
