It looks like the basic 2gb/1gb might be enough for me for many years, even if a future upgrade to a 2.5gb router is in the cards, by the time that happens I'd imaging these would be even cheaper so I'd rather save the money now...
but I don't understand what it means by "bonded gigabit speed"... if my router ports are all 1gb, is there any reason to get anything higher than the basic one? is this like one of those things where 1gb is the "max" throughput but I can expect less, and should spring for the 2.5gb to actually get the best speed?

If my router only has gig ports… even if I run 2.5 GB switches downstream of it, any data flowing through those switches will ultimately be capped at 1 GB anyway, correct?
I have a NAS with 2.5 GB ports … and Motorola MoCA that supports up to 2.5… but my switches are currently gig and my router only does gig. Debating upgrading my switches, but I think it'd be irrelevant unless I upgrade my routers as well.

these are what I have:
goCoax MoCA 2.5 Adapter with 2.5GbE Ethernet Port. MoCA 2.5. 1x 2.5GbE Port. Provide 2.5Gbps Bandwidth with existing coaxial Cables. White(Single, MA2500D) https://a.co/d/amX7KZJ
IIRC, I have a CAT6 coming off the switch that runs into an outlet / faceplate that runs though the walls from our basement to our living room … and then another switch for our livingroom devices. So in that case, it might not need to go THROUGH the router — assuming the router told the switch where to send it.
EDIT: crap. Now I'm wondering if I'd also need to upgrade the keystones (??) in the wall faceplates / Ethernet jacks as those might also be capped at 1GB.

If you're definitely running cat 6 and those keystones are terminated properly, they should be fine
