How to Setup my Network for 2GB on 2 PCs with Xfinity XB8 Modem and Nighthawk AXE11000 Router
My ISP is Xfinity and I recently upgraded from the Gigabit plan (1GB) to Gigabit X2 (2GB). According to them, I need to rent their XB8 modem router in order for those speeds to work under their netwo...
Due to the limitation of the RAXE500 and it's WAN and LAN ports max connection rate of 1000Mpbs, you'll not see anything over 900Mpbs on ethernet with these connections on the RAXE. Theoretically you can see over 1000Mpbs IF you connected the RAXE MG port to the host ISP modem/ONT that has 2.5Gb rated ports and then connect a wifi device that is 4x4 MIMO supporting to the RAXEs wifi system.
The only want to get seamless 2.5Gb ethernet speeds from your ISP service is to get a router that supports 2.5Gb or higher rate WAN AND LAN ports. Something NGs RS700 and Orbi970 series models supports.

Do you think something like this would be perfect? https://www.amazon.com/FLYPROFiber-Transceiver-SFP-10G-T-S-MA-SFP-10G-T-Supermicro/dp/B0BX8XVVNK/ref=sr_1_4?crid=22TJT48LR60HP&keywords=10gb%2Bsfp%2Bto%2B10gb%2Brj45%2Badapter&qid=1700198066&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&sprefix=10gb%2Bsfp%2Bto%2B10gb%2Brj45%2Badapter%2Caps%2C86&sr=8-4&th=1
Something to try out. Ya I had to buy a 10Gb SPF to Ethernet plug after my XS series switch came in. Works great.
