What type of router for 1.5Gb Fiber? (alien.top)

The internet tech that came to my house said the only way I can get 1.5 gb speed is if my computer is wired in via Ethernet.

I have a Google Nest mesh router today. 2 devices in a 1500 sq ft apartment. He said id probably only get 500mb through my router.

Is there a WiFi router that would allow me to get the full 1.5gb? If so any recommendations?

I use an asus GT-AXE16000 which has a 2.5 GBe WAN port, and supports 2 10GBe ports, wired to my computer with a 10GBe adapter. I have 1.4GBe bidirectional fiber, and get the full bandwidth to my machines that connect 10GBe.

It's wifi support is unbelievable. I use a AI mesh with it, and it covers the house, the yard (wifi sprinkler in the garage, and wifi pool and hot tub) and every smart device (around 100 total). Supports wifi 6, my phone transfers 1000MB/sec both ways over wifi.

Complete features, including an AI firewall that's stellar. Expensive, but very worth it.
