[Wireless Router] RT-AX89X - Common FAQs for using 10Gbps port

The RT-AX89X comes with two 10G ports, one Base-T and one SFP+ port, which means both fiber and copper 10G connections are supported. Capture ISP advertised speeds or use your own 10G LAN network between PCs and NAS.

  • Well, to be exact it interacts with the cable. Communication with devices rely more on network protocols. 

 

4. If I connect a 1G cable modem to the 10G Base-T RJ45 port configured as a WAN port, will it function at 1G?
