Ps5 cax80 lan issue

Hey friend, just wanted to provide an update.

I did swap out the coax (old one looked just fine though) and it did not resolve the problem.

I did some random digging and learned that I don't need ports forwarded with upnp enabled, if working correctly (I think ). So I turned of upnp and kept the ports forwarded, no change. Then I enabled upnp and deleted all the forwarded ports, still no change and issue persisted.

I tried to use the multi gig port assuming I'd get slightly faster connection with my 1.2gbps internet, but that port had been the worse by far. No thumbnails would load in on the console at all, with the regular ethernet ports I still get some thumbnails. Also read that this port may be well be defective 🤷🏽‍, in many cases

Finally, last resort i just went through every setting i could find in my router page, and came across ethernet ports aggregation. Read up on it and thought i really shouldn't need this, but I enabled it anyways, let the modem do is thing and reset. Been working flawlessly since!!! All thumbnails load instantly, everything feels snappy on console interface again, nat type is correct and open on the games I need. Pretty stoked haha. It's only been couple hours so I'll have to see if this holds up.

Thanks again

Edit: reset ps5 connection to auto settings on lan settings, no more static ip. Did this first and there was no change. It's currently still auto but working fine with aggregate
