SXS80 2.5G LAN Ethernet Port 1 - Link speed limited to 1000 Mbps?
Hi, I am using a NAS (Synology DS1823xs+) that is connected via a CAT8 ethernet cable, from the NAS’ LAN 3 port (10GbE) to the LAN 1 port (2.5GbE) on a Netgear Orbi Pro 6 Satellite (SXS80) with the l...
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. I had the same idea as you - but when I asked Synology tech support about this yesterday, I was informed that this particular model should also support 2.5G and 5G (despite those not being mentioned in the product documentation), which leads me to believe that the problem might have to do with the Orbi Satellite (rather than the Synology NAS, or the two CAT7/8 ethernet cables that I have tested)
Just to add to my previous reply - I had a quick look though the product manual (DS1823xs+) and found a table that would seem to indicate that 2.5G is supported (screenshot attached). So if the manual and Synology tech support are correct, then again I think the problem might be with the Orbi Satellite.
When I chatted with Netgear support earlier today, I was asked "What is a NAS?", and "How fast is your Internet speed?", so I am not sure I was connected to someone with a lot of expertise in the field. Hopefully some of the developers on the community forums can help figure out what is limiting the 2.5G LAN Ethernet Port 1 on SXS80 with my current setup. I would also be interested to hear from anyone that has actually managed to get Port 1 to work at 2.5G (this can be checked at https://insight.netgear.com/#/devices/orbi/summary, by hovering with your mouse over the LAN ports).
