What NG model do you have? RAX? AX6000 is a wifi speed.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A is recommended
What is the brand and model# of the 2.5Gb ethernet adapter in the PC?
Be sure the ethernet drivers for the adapter are up to date.
If your ISP modem only supports 1Gb then you'll not see or use 2.5Gb between the modem and router.
However the connection rate between the ethernet adapter in the PC and the router should be at 2.5Gb if your using the multi gig port on this router and it's set for LAN connections. Not WAN.
