Nerd here. You confuse me:

WAN is some up-/downstream port connecting intranets remotely in my novice book. The measurement G doesn't refer to some advertisement-thingy in terms of wireless speed (but Gigabyte) - Maybe it's some form of Generation; But then I lack everything including my false base knowledge. Additionally I have never encountered "2.5G LAN" ever before: Would you be able to shed light on my shortcomings? 2.5 x 8 is 20 Gbit. I didn't read about that size yet.

Edit: Thanks guys!

    WAN would be the Internet uplink port. A 2.5G WAN port is a 2.5 gigabit Ethernet port. 2.5 gigabit and o a lesser extent 5 gigabit Ethernet are a standard that's becoming rapidly available on a lot of hardware. OP is stating that for a device shipping near the end of 2024, a new router that is shipping with only 1 GbE instead of 2.5 GbE is a problem.
