NETGEAR NIGHTHAWK M5 5G MR5200-100EUS

Hello! I have two questions regarding the NETGEAR NIGHTHAWK M5 5G MR5200-100EUS router. First I wonder which usb type 2.0 or 3.0 or 3.1 or 3.2. The problem is that I can't get speeds higher than 1Gbps via usb tethering or via LAN cable as it is also limited to 1Gbps. The available speeds are 2.8Gbps I have them on my smartphone. So to me it's completely pointless the M5 modem supports DL 4Gbps and there are no ports that would have that available bandwidth. The bands available to me support the M5 so there is no problem. Does anyone have any solution or will I have to look for another router with a min 5Gbps LAN port.

    M5 has USB 3.1 port, which supports upto 5Gbit/s.

     

    Why do you think USB port can't get more than 1Gpbs?

     

    Thanks
