What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What CAT# LAN cable are you using? I recommend using CAT6A STP cable when connected to the 2.5Gb port.

I am using a Cat6 cable I never use the ones that come with modems. The modem I am using is a Netgear CM2000.
Everything is fine with the modem and the router.
Just the LEDs do not blink when using the 2.5GBE port for the WAN connection. Only ones that blink is the ones for the 1Gbps ports.
I am also running the latest firmware for the RAXE500.
