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...
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.
thank you every guru, i give up and lost 100$ for 10g ethernet port for apple mac mini m2.
you are correct easy option to wired ethernet >1g to mac is buy New Orbi model.
i wonder why orbi has> 1g lan input/output port but nighthawk have only input no output.
