Fios 2gig with Rax500E

Question

Hello all and hope someone can help. I just recently upgraded my fios to 2 gig connection and purchased a Rax500E. I have it connected to the multigig 2.5 port from the ONT. I also have a 2.5 capable switch. Can I connect the switch to the Rax to pass the 2 gig speed to my pc which also has a 2.5 card? Any help would be greatly appreciated.&nbsp;

I’m only getting 1gig from my switch. Not sure what could be the issue.

You'll not see over 1000Mbps thru the RAXE500 WAN to LAN ethernet connections if you use the Yellow Internet port thats only rated at 1000Mpbs max.&nbsp;
