Manage a Multi-Gig Internet connection
If your ISP offers Internet speeds up to 1 Gbps, use the Internet port to connect the
router to your modem. This is the most likely setup for your Internet connection.
However, if your ISP offers Internet speeds faster than 1 Gbps, you can do
one
of the
following to get a high-speed Internet connection:
• Use the Multi-Gig port on your router for your Internet connection (see Get Multi-Gig
Internet With the Multi-Gig Port on page 31). The Multi-Gig port supports speeds
of up to 2.5 Gbps.
• Set up Internet port aggregation by aggregating the Internet port and Ethernet port
1 on the router (see Get Multi-Gig Internet With Internet Port Aggregation on page
31). The Internet port and Ethernet port 1 each support a speed of up to 1 Gbps.
The following ports can also function as LAN ports:
•
Multi-Gig port
. If you do not use the Multi-Gig port on your router for your Internet
connection, you can use the Multi-Gig port as a high-speed LAN port. For example,
if you set up Internet port aggregation, you can connect a high-speed LAN device
to the Multi-Gig port.
•
Internet port
. If you use the Multi-Gig port for your Internet connection, you can
use the Internet port as an extra LAN port.
