Problem: Asus router sending 2.5Gbps instead of the expected 10Gbps. Notes: 1. Direct connection to modem gives full 10Gbps, ruling out most issues 2. Connecting modem straight to switch keeps all 10Gbps devices working properly, unlike when routing through modem and switch 3. The cable between Asus and switch functions correctly at 10Gbps 4. The 10Gb port is white, indicating only one active 10G connection, whereas I should have two 5. 5. Port 1 shows a 10Gbps connection but my speeds are limited to 2500 Mbps 6. Modem is connected to WAN 1 (Ethernet 1) and switch to WAN 2 (Ethernet 2) 7. Attached are some screenshots of my configuration. The router lists two 10GbWan/Lan ports, but I’m confused. Could someone clarify what’s missing?
The Trendnet switch uses a specific model, typically referred to as the "Trendnet 2" or similar variants depending on the version.
Just because an Asus router includes a 10gb port doesn't guarantee it can handle 10gb wan speeds. I wouldn't be surprised if any consumer model could manage it. Manufacturers usually mention this in their specifications. For instance, the Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro has a 10gb wan port but only around 3gb throughput. It's important to check the specs—it's better to choose a device or build one that matches your needs.
This was resolved by accessing the admin panel, adjusting privacy settings, and turning off data sharing. Now I have 10GB speeds.
