Multi-Gig port to PC?

Can I connect via the RAX120's Multi-Gig port (5G/2.G/1G) to a PC, with say a 5G ethernet port, and get 5G?

Re: Multi-Gig port to PC?

Thank you very much, avtella!

 

The manual and product page didn't make that clear enough.

Re: Multi-Gig port to PC?

It’s only a WAN (Internet side) port if you specifically select the 5gb port as WAN in internet settings, otherwise it acts as a LAN port. I have it connected to a 10Gbps switch (at 5Gbps link rate) which is connected to my NAS.

Re: Multi-Gig port to PC?

Very good to know, thanks!  

 

Now the documentation (of it's default functionality) seems right after all.

Re: Multi-Gig port to PC?

I would have thought it would be able to LAG on the WAN side and LAG on the LAN side but was told it can not do this like the other AX routers.
