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...
schumaku Thanks for elaborating. To your point - if I assign the WAN to Port 2 (which would limit the internet speed to 1G), then yes; I could most likely connect Port 1 on the router (2.5G LAN) and Port 1 on the satellite (2.5G LAN), and it wouldn’t surprise me if the link speed is then reported as 2500 for both devices.
But even if that is the case, then wouldn’t that mean that Port 1 on satellite is somehow limited to 2.5G when directly connected to the router? Am I the only one that expects Port 1 on the satellite to function as a general LAN port that can be linked to other devices than the router?

I think it is fairly clear what I am trying to achieve at this point, but just to clarify, at the moment I am focused on achieving 2500M speeds on Port 1 of the Satellite, when connected to anything other than the router.
In my current setup, port 1 of the router is connected to a modem (with 1200 down, and 110 up, if that matters at all), and the link speed for that port is showing as 2500. In my mind, the router has little if anything at all to do with whether port 1 on the satellite can support up to 2.5G link speeds or not. To start, I am simply trying to make sure that the NAS (10/5/2.5GbE) can link optimally to port 1 (2.5GbE) on the satellite. If that isn’t possible for any reason then I might give up and switch to using the other ports and bind two ports in LAG.
Or if this is a “bug” that affects all users (as in, no one in the world is currently able to achieve 2500 link speeds on the satellite port 1), then it would be great if this could be fixed in the next firmware for SXR/SXS80 that seems to be scheduled for mid August
