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...

So you would still be limited to 1G in either case..?
no, of course not. Major ISP (CPE manufacturer) as well as Netgear are have devices - cable modems and routers - in the market allowing to use two GbE links in a LAG providing aggregated bandwidth to the Internet router >> 1 Gb. It's just a question on how the LAG members are distributing the traffic over the ports. There a no algorithms defined in the "IEEE 802.1AX-2008 IEEE Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks – Link Aggregation", all it say is:
This standard does not mandate any particular distribution algorithm(s); however, any distribution algorithm shall ensure that, when frames are received by a Frame Collector as specified in 5.2.3, the algorithm shall not cause
a) Misordering of frames that are part of any given conversation, or
b) Duplication of frames.

This thread is solely about the port 1 (2.5G LAN) of the satellite not providing 2.5G speeds in my testing.
This seems to be specific to the interoperability of the Orbi Pro 6 2.5 GbE port (satellite or router is irrelevant) with the Multi Gig port - the only one you are testing with - on your NAS.
I’m not really getting why you are focusing on the theoretical capability of setting up a WAN LAG with ports 2 and 3 for a modem (which I doubt would even work as you describe - but that is besides the point) and the SXR80 router. It really is completely unrelated to the issue I am facing. Let’s please stay on topic
To simplify the issue, I would just like to know how someone would be able to use the full 2500 link speed on port 1 (2.5GbE) of the SXS80 satellite, as I seem to only be getting 1000M when connecting to a device that should support 10/5/2.5/1G, using a CAT7/8 Ethernet cable. That is all…

I might be wrong, but from looking at the consumer Orbi WiFi 6 (AX6000) System (850 and 860 series) my understanding is that neither of those models have satellites with anything above 1GbE LAN ports.
It seems as if the only AX6000 variant with a 2.5GbE LAN Port on the satellite is the Orbi Pro 6 (SXR/SXS80). If so the SXS80 is unique in that regard.
I think the only consumer model with a 2.5GbE LAN port (satellite) might be the WiFi 6E (AXE11000) / 960 Series (?)
Sorry, my bad: Had the RBSE950 and 960 satellites with the 2.5 GbE in mind.
