How do routers/AP’s have speeds of AX/AC2000+ with gigabit Ethernet?

Question

Like the title, how do access points claim speeds of over a gigabit when they themselves are limited with a gigabit ethernet supply?

Answer 1

That’s the trick, they don’t!

Enterprise APs capable of faster than 1GB/s have multi gig ports that can handle speeds faster than 1 GB/s

But for a home router you’ll never achieve those speeds unless it’s device to device via wifi and even then unlikely.
