RAXE300 connect ethernet to Mac mini M2 port 10G ethernet
My ISP provide 2G ethernet speed connect to RAXE300 Multi gig internet port, i want to use lan RJ45 aggregate port lan3 and 4 to 10G ethernet port of mac mini m2 (has only one lan), Can I do that ? I...
whai i under stand is i have to buy a special switch, such as
Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (MS108UP)
then connect lan 3 and 4 from raxe300 to this switch after that connect lan rj45 from this switch to mac mini lan port 10G ethernet......am i correct ?

nope, sorry.
With two links connecting the LAN 3 & 4 you will end in yet another loop, even if configuring the two aggregation ports as a static LAG.
very...very complicate, raxe300 has one port for input multi gig internet why dont they design has one port for output multi gig (same as they have 5 lan port 1 Gig) which can connect to another device which has 10G port, for example mac mini port ethernet 10G. If I have to buy a new switch and very complicate to set up i should stop this idea. (i already pay extra 100$ for this 10G ethernet port)
Sorry, yes, you are correct. There is only one 2.5G port (#5) available. #1...#4 are Gigabit Ethernet ports only.
Said that, the aggregation speed can't exceed 2 Gb.
You could go the MS108EUP (the 8-Port Ultra60 PoE++ Multi-Gigabit (2.5G) Ethernet Plus Switch) for to operate a 2*1GbE LAG (static or LCAP) to link up an aggregation pair with the RAXE300.
Alternate, ISP connection device allowing, think about a 2*1GbE LAG for the Internet uplink, and keep the 10G port as a faster data path for the three concurrent active Wi-Fi bands, to build a 10 GbE based LAN covering whatever you plan to connect mid-term (Mac mini M2, NAS, more Wi-Fi AP, ...).
Other options would be to get into a different router systems that supports higher WAN and LAN speeds.
Currently Orbi 9 series has a 10Gb WAN and 1 2.5Gb LAN port.
Slated out later this year is supposed to be the RS700 with both 10Gb WAN and LAN ports.Possible some later version of Orbi could have same thing.
