Especially with 1+ GBit/s fibre connections, you're quickly leaving the prosumer space and are fairly far into enterpr…

You realize your old all in one router from 2009 is not up to the task of handling this, but hey by now stuff should be cheap and available that will handle your new fiber connection right?
