About high-speed Internet connections and Internet port
aggregation
Use the router's yellow Internet port, which supports speeds up to 10 Gbps, to connect
the router to your modem.
The router's Internet speed depends on the speed that your ISP offers and the speed
that your modem supports. For example, if your ISP and your modem both support a
speed of 10 Gbps, the router's Internet speed is also 10 Gbps. However, if, for example,
your ISP supports a speed of 10 Gbps but your modem supports a speed of only 1
Gbps, your router's Internet speed is limited to 1 Gbps.
If your ISP offers Internet speeds faster than 1 Gbps, your modem does not provide a
high-speed or multi-gigabit port, but your modem does support link aggregation, set
up Internet port aggregation by aggregating the yellow Internet port and Ethernet LAN
port 4 on the router. By default, the Ethernet LAN 4 port functions as a regular LAN port,
but you change the function of the Ethernet LAN port 4 to a second WAN port in an
Internet link aggregation setup. For more information, see Get multi-gigabit Internet
with Internet port aggregation on page 41.
