I may soon be upgrading to 2.5Gbps internet, however all the routers that support said speed seem to be expensive. Is there any that cost less than $100?

The GL.iNet Beryl AX (GL-MT3000) travel router has one 2.5 gig port. It's priced a little above $100 but some sales might still be going on for it to bring the price below that amount.

The other ethernet port is only 1 gig, so no client would be able to reach the full speed, but you could theoretically share the connection between wired and wireless clients.

Considering I don't have any wired devices capable of above gigabit speeds this may not be a bad option. The openwrt based software looks like a plus as well.
