ISP Speed 3GBPS and ethernet port only capable of speed of 2.5GBPS

Hello....

If my ISP speed of fibre is 3Gbps and the ethernet port on the Netgear Nighthawk RAX200 is only 2.5Gbps speed....will that port be capable of handling the 3Gbps speed without any issues....or will it overload the 2.5gbps port?

Thanks in advance.

    You will not overload it. Auto speed sensing will take place so only 2,5 Gbps will be communicated between your ISP modem/home gateway and your netgear router.
