Only one port on the XB8 allows a 2.5GbE LAN link. The other ports are 10/100/1000Mbps. This is not software configuration, this is a physical hardware limitation of those ports. Pick the right port to start with. One of the PR60X WAN ports is a 10G/Multi Gig port, the others are 2.5 Gb. Both ports which can be used for WAN are marked amber. One dedicated 1G/2.5G Ethernet WAN port (WAN1), one 1G/2.5G/5G/10G multi-gigabit port that you can configure as a second WAN port (WAN2) (or a LAN port (LAN5)).

I recently upgraded to Xfinity two gig Internet.
Only one 2.5 Gb port with a 2 Gb contract, or two ports with 1 GbE LAN link?
- CurtdeezyDec 23, 2023AspirantApologies, I could have been more specific. Thanks for the reply! Yep, I’m patched into the 2.5gb port on the Xfinity gateway (port 4 on XB8-T), to the WAN1 port on the Pr60x.
The secondary isp is gigabit and connected to WAN2/LAN4.
