Hi, I understand your setup. Yes, you can utilize the 2.5Gb port and the 1Gb port on your MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK ATX motherboard to achieve higher speeds. This will help improve performance for your server or NAS. Let me know if you need further details!

Using either port or both ports wouldn't change the actual connection speeds to the router.

Thanks! I understand you're referring to internal speeds on the network switch connecting to the motherboard and returning.

This describes how "connecting speeds to the router" work. Your internet performance relies on the plan you choose, with the slower one determining the speed. On network switches, every device connects to a single 1Gbps link, forming a circular setup. Both incoming and outgoing data flow at 1Gbps, totaling one gigabit per second.

Your switch has a maximum of 1 Gbps, so the type of connection you use on your motherboard doesn't change that limit. You can connect both ports at once to potentially boost speeds. In theory, this works through channel bundling, but it would require both the server and clients to have two connections each, each sending at 1 Gbps for a combined total of 2 Gbps.
