AXE11000 router - does the 10Gb WAN port support 2.5/5Gb internet?
Today, I have 1Gb fiber internet from AT&T, and use an RBK53 which handles all my routing + satellites. The AT&T gateway is a pass-through. In two weeks, I'm upgrading to 5Gb AT&T fiber, and the ...
I know for mine, it connects at 2.5Gb with my CAX80. So there is that. I don't have modem that supports 5Gb. I do have a 5Gb Ethernet to USB adapter that might see if we get a connect rate. I presume it might work to see a connection rate with the RBREs WAN port.
So this would not be actual use test case but to just to observe that connection rate on the RBRE WAN port, however seems that my 5Gb USB to ethernet adapter is seeing 5Gb on the RBREs WAN port:
Though when checking the RBREs Stats page, the WAN port is reporting 10Mb. :smileyembarrassed: I presume it maybe not a actual connection traffic which should or would show 10Gb with a actual 10Gb modem/Ethernet switch connection and not a USB to ethernet adapter.
I did reboot the RBRE and while it rebooted that adapter reported "auto detect" so I believe the adapter is working and seeing speeds right with the RBRE. After the RBRE was back to ready, the adapter again reported 5Gb speeds while connected to the WAN port.
2.5Gb LAN port reports same speed with this adapter:
FURRYe38 thanks for the extensive testing. So it does appear the WAN port can auto-negotiate both 2.5Gb and 5Gb. This appears to be the first-ever document of such on the internet :smileyhappy:
While I have your attention regarding the RBKE93... can the wired backhaul work when connected to your normal LAN? And you can have wired backhaul for both satellites? The connection diagrams/manual seems to indicate that wired backhaul only works when you connect the 2.5Gb port of the satellite directly into the 2.5Gb port of the router. I was planning on having a 1Gb switch in between the two.
Yes the 1Gb LAN ports work to connect RBSEs via wired backhaul. How I have mine since I don't have the HW support for 2.5Gb LAN currently. :smileywink:
