RAXE300 2.5gbps multi port connection

I just upgraded to the RAXE300 router and nighthawk cmv2000 modem. I have up to 1200 download speed with Comcast, so I was wondering how to connect to the 2.5 port to get above 1gbps speed. I connected to that port to begin, but I didn’t have any internet connection. Could someone please inform me on how to correct this. Thanks!

    Need to tell the router to use the multi gig port for the internet connection on its web page. it's not enabled by default.
