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...

You're kind of stuck.
Reason I say that is the only 2.5g device you have is the killer adapter.
Its reading 2.5g connected to the cm2000 but not when connected to the RAXE? (your photo doesn't differentiate)
so is it an issue with the RAXE or the adapter not negotiating properly.
Are you using a cat 6 cable between the adapter and the router?
Possibly have any other device you could test the 2.5g port on the router with?
If you have the cm2000 connected to the raxe500's 2.5g port are you able to test a 2 seperate hardwired devices to see if you hit >1gig speeds? (test at same time on a site that can support >1gig speeds. Most can't. Xfinity's can)
(again, the 1+1 lag won't work with different adapters in my experience)

Correct, it reads 2.5G when connected directly to CM2000 and I get the 1.2G speeds. When connected to the RAXE500 it only sees 1G and only hits 1G limited speeds. I'm using cat 7 cables. I don't have any other devices with a type C USB port on them to test. All of my other devices only have 1G ports so I don't see how they can break over 1G even with the RAXE500 set at 2.5G.
