Router for multigig internet (catata.fish)

So I’m finally upgrading to multi gig (either 2gb or 5gb google fiber) and will need a new router. On att 1gb atm. I’ve narrowed it down to either the QNAP QHora-301W or the [TP-Link AXE16000 (https://a.co/d/2q0T4Ow). Curious if anyone else with google fiber is using either of these?

Also, I’ve read conflicting posts about being able to use your own router to directly connect to the fiber(such as using an SFP module on the to link router). Admittedly I know very little about SFP and am trying to figure it all out prior to ordering in the next few weeks.

I can't help with the 2 options you presented, but if you're interested in an sfp+ router, I've used the DEC2750/DEC750 from OPNsense as a directly fiber connected router for Comcast Gigabit Pro 2Gig fiber for several years. It's super capable, you'll have an enormous state table to accommodate tons of P2P connections for torrenting, and you'll be able to enable loads of plugins, VPN connections, IDS, etc without the CPU breaking a sweat.
