What device are you plugging into the multi gig port?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.

One more question when I go into the Nighthawk app on my phone, under Settings, Router Settings, Internet Port, for "Type" is says Down, what does that mean? Is there a doc that details what the Types could be? Can't find any other setting in the mobile app or web configuration page that could be related to trying to get it to negotiate at 2.5GB
