Hi,
Okay so I have a netgear nighthawk router RAX70 I also have a cable modem the Arris s33 Cable modem which supports up to 3.5 GBPS Now I have an ethernet cable (cat7) plugged into the 2.5 GBPS port on the back of the cable modem and I have the other end plugged into the Wan port on the back of the router. Then I have another ethernet cable plugged into a regular ethernet port on the back of my router and the other end plugged into the back of my computer into my 10GB Ethernet card tp-link Ethernet card. My issue is when I plug the cable modem into my computer directly bypassing the router I'm able to get 2.5 GBPS for a link speed. It shows this when I go into my network and connection sharing in my windows 11 OS Desktop computer. Which gives me much higher speeds when I run a speedtest from speedtest.net well over a gig 1,440 and change. Something like that. But when I plug the ethernet cable going from the 2.5 gig port on the modem to the wan port on the router and then the other ethernet cable going from a regular ethernet port on the back of the router too the 10gb ethernet card. Not onboard. It will not let me set the link speed to 2.5 GBPS. It only allows me to set either 1 gig or Auto negotiate. So I'm wondering why this is happening? Is it because the ports on the router are only 1 gig for speed? Or is it saomething elso? When it trys to detect the network using 2.5 for a link speed it says Unidentified network and then just does nothing and I can't connect to the internet I have no Ipv4 connectivity. Is it the router causing this or something else? And if it is the router could you maybe recommend a netgear nighthawk router that has the actual ports that have a speed higher than 1 gig. Not the router itself but the ports on the router Because I have an RAX70 Netgear nighthawk router and this is the router I'm having the issue with. And I spent pretty good money for this router. And still the ports themselves only support 1 gig for speed. So I want to make sure I get something where the ports themselves support higher than 1 gig for speed. Or I will just use a straight cable modem connection which works. For a 2.5 GBPS Link Speed reading.
Thank you!!
