RAX120 question about wan/multigig
Hello, I have just upgraded my broadband speed to 1GB+ with expected speeds around 1150mb/s. I was looking into getting a router that would support speeds of over 1gb. I saw that the RAX120...

Problem with a lot of these devices are only having a single 2.5/5g port on them.
But most that have that option, also support wan/lan port aggregation.
so you can either use it with wan port aggregation to get the speed gig+ and then connect devices to the 2.5g port.
Or you can use the 2.5g for the wan port and the lan aggregation for the computer.

Thank you, I ended up going with a router that has multiple multigig ports and can use one for wan and for lan. Not as many features as RAX120 or RAX 200 but I only really need one for ethernet anyway as all main devices are wired.
Didn't think I would have had gigabit internet so soon but glad i'm now future proof upto 2.5gb/s and should be able to get max speeds.
