f your ISP modem only supports 1Gb then you'll not see or use 2.5Gb between the modem and router.
When isp modem connected to pc, we did see 2.5gb on network card, isp on Speedtest went too 1056mbps.
Internet Setup
WAN Preference
* Internet Port (1Gbps)
* Multi-Gig Internet (1 Gbps + 1 Gbps
Wan preference is internet port 1 Gbps
I tried multi gig and got error message:
Error: Unable to establish WAN aggregation.
Also isp modem is on port 4 ( 2.5gbps port ) to nighthawk, then port 1 nighthawk to pc 2.5gbps network card.

Ok so the ISP modem has count them with me 1, just 1x 2.5Gb WAN ethernet port. All other ports are 1Gb ports.
The RAX80 has all 1Gb ethernet ports. However the WAN port and the next door port can be LAG configured to get a combined 2Gb connection speed if you have a ISP modem that can also LAG it's WAN and another port next to it for LAG support with a router like the RAX80.
The RAX80 does NOT have a 2.5Gb WAN or LAN ports. There ALL 1Gb. So the most you'll ever see between the RAX router and your ethernet adapter is 1Gb connection rate.
There is LAG support on the LAN side with two of the LAN side by side ports however you need another adapter to connect and have them support LAG on the LAN side. You would see a combined connection of 2Gb only.
- Yes correct, the isp modem has 5 ports and one of them is 2,5gbps
Then on the nighthawk, all ports are 1 gbps
Is there a newer, maybe better router from Netgear than what I have , that ports are above 1gbps ( 2.5gbps)
So I can upgrade
Also Thankyou for your help
