What is the point of having a 2.5Gb LAN port if you’re WAN port is only 1Gb?
Makes no sense to me.
MY ISP is giving me 2Gb up/down so wouldn’t the 1Gb WAN port be bottlenecking my speeds?
That IS the port I have to connect to from my ONT(Fiber modem) yes?
If you read the manual, you’d see you can use the 2.5Gbps port for either LAN or WAN.
I didn’t buy it so I don’t have the manual and it’s clearly something that’s slowly being introduced into the market so there is very little talk about it. But I just spent hours researching it and people have confirmed that having a 2.5 Gbe Ethernet port/WAN does give them more than their 1GB service they’re paying for from their ISP. Having 1gig WAN keeps you below 1gig. Makes sense to me. There are a couple gaming laptops now with 2.5Gbe as well as a couple routers with 2.5Gb Wan port.
If only there were some way of instantly electronically accessing it over a large data communication network.
Also good lord that thing is ridiculous. But then again most routers that use the term “gaming router” are.
Yes, but if they provide multiple interfaces or you connect to a multi-gig switch you could connect multiple 1gb wan interfaces.
Maybe look at the GT-AX6000. Has two 2.5 ports that one can be configured for wan, if that’s what you’re looking for.
