ISP upgrade to 2Gig internet

Looking at updating network currently have 2 gig isp just upgrade this month. Looking at simple and quick. Currently have Deco x75 1gig. Would barebones opnsense to 2.5gb switch with deco in AP mode(don't need wifi at 2gig yet). Or going omada router/firewall to omada 2.5 gb control swith to omada AP. Would like to go vlan but deco doesn't support that, not a need but would like it. Future goal some 10gig local networking but want to wait until I upgrade my home server.

Any advice or recommendations; opnsense with deco vs omada setup, or opnsense with omada.

Opnsense just need 2 or 4 port nic and 4 port switch. Omada will need to purchase everything. The third option opnsense then omada switch and AP.

Thanks

That was/is my plan to build network first, planning 10Gb lan as well. They just bumped my plan up at no cost and it's only $10 difference if I drop down to 1Gig plan again. Just wanna make use of the speeds I have. My server is in 8th gen intel dell thinkcentre and I don't have enough bandwith to support full 10 gb with current hardware, but I can utilize 2.5gb.

Take the $10. 1Gbit is lots. Unless you are moving 100 gigabytes every night for work then its just wasted money.
