ASUS RT-AX86U Pro (AX5700) 2.5Gb LAN port but only 1GB WAN? WTF? - eviltoast

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?

    Yes, but if they provide multiple interfaces or you connect to a multi-gig switch you could connect multiple 1gb wan interfaces.
