I am thinking of this beat of a CCR2216-1G-12XS-2XQ router

#1 Hhow do i connect my RJ-45 WAN uplink from ISP to this router?

#2 For devices with 1G and 10G BASE-T RJ-45, what connectors can i use to connect to them from this router?

S+RJ10 should work in the SFP28 cages.

Sorry guys, I mispoke too soon, I thought those ports were QSFP+(40G) but they are SFP28(25G)
So the same SFP+(10G) port will fit into SFP28925G) ports as well? and if that is Yes
Then i will assume QSFP+(40G) will also fit into QSFP28(100G) also?

i you are gonna connect this machine to a rj45 uplink consider ccr2116, cost a fraction and performance will be very similar in most scenarios, and more adequate for the job, and more power efficient

Yes to both, I think, but I’m not 100% sure on the latter.

Yeah will stick with my CCR2004, i hate the CCR2116 with passion because of the useless several 1G ports, like why 1G in 2022? WHy not make those ports 10G?!?
So i hate, not dislike the CCR2116
Will stick to CCR2004 because i originally thought the CCS2216 has 40G ports, but the ports are 25G, which made me change my mind.
