2.5G Gaming Port Issue | Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX11000

Because you asked, I put a device on all of the ports and the 2.5 Gbps continued to function. But I had no where near the load you seem to have on yours.

Thanks.

You might want to keep a device on all the ports, as well as the 2.5 Gbps port as well. My 2.5G Gaming Port was functional for awhile, but failed in a day. Also, try switching a few of the devices connected to LAN 1 - LAN 4 to the 2.5G Gaming Port

Ok, I will try switching them around..

Did ASUS get you to try a hard reset on the router?

I did not perform a hard reset on the router I have now, nor the previous router (same 2.5G Gaming Port issue). Â*I did reset the router back to 'Factory Default' with the last router. Â*I'm not sure a "hard reset" would work, as I'm convinced this is more of a hardware issue, than a firmware issue. Â*I'm not sure a hard reset would resolve the 2.5G Gaming Port issue I'm having?

With your wired devices connected to the LAN ports on the back of the router (LAN1-LAN4 | LAN5 - 2.5G Gaming Port LAN), can you check the status of the LAN ports in the GT-AX11000 GUI (Advanced Settings > Network Map > System Status > Status)? Â*For me, LAN 1-4 all show 1 Gbps. Â*LAN5 (2.5G Gaming Port) shows Unplugged.

Sure ..

I just changed the Router 2.5 port to a 1.0 Gbps on my computer and the listing for LAN 5 went to 1 Gbps.

[BiggShooter]

Ok. Â*Thanks for taking time to do that. Â*Let me know if you see any changes / issues over the next few hours / day.

Do you have any gaming consoles plugged into the back of the router?

No Gaming consoles..

Just curious, when you do a factory reset, how are you doing the reset on the AX11000?

I can't help much more than what you've already done. I have a Realtek 2Gb PCIe adapter connected to the 2.5Gb port and have use this port for past couple of weeks since getting the 2.5Gb card installed in my WIndows 10x64 PC. However my AX11000 is in wireless bridge mode. I have 1 other device connected to the 1Gb LAN port which is a LAN switch. I have been running mine like this since 2019. I haven't had a chance to try it in router mode. With whats happening to yours, I'm not sure I want to. Seems like a hardware instability when you put all these devices online and connected.

I presume you have tried this configuration with a prior router?
