RAXE500 cannot get speeds over 1G even though I have 1.2G Internet
My Xfinity speeds just went up from 1G to 1.2GB. If I test my speeds hooked up to the RAXE500 Router it still only gives me the 1G. If I go straight to my Netgear CM2000 Modem I get the 1.2G. Plus my...
I went back and read this a couple times.
do you have the CM2000 or the CM1200?
the CM1200 has 4x ethernet ports and supports LACP.
The CM2000 only has a 2.5g port and doesn't support LACP.
If you have the CM2000, you'd connect the RAXE500 to it through the 2.5g port and set it up in your internet settings to use that port. That'd give the ROUTER the full 1.2g speeds. But like Razor512 says, unless you have a computer that supports LACP to use the RAXE's LACP support, you won't get >1gig out of a single port. Not saying you can't use the full 1.2gig just not through to one device/connection. I've managed it with 2x devices connected. (940mbs on one and 200mbps on the other during concurrent usage).
I've got the same CM2000 + RAXE500
Also, the cm1200-s support from comcast for LACP is sketchy at best. I wouldn't use it.
