Can someone please explain this to me like I'm five? I feel like I'm missing something because nothing works. And if it wasn't meant to work...then why even advertise that it has a 2.5 Gbps port?
My modem is the Motorola MB8611 with a single dedicated 2.5 Gbps port. I have tried connecting the modem to both the regular WAN port of the AXE11000 and the 2.5 Gbps labeled port (having gone into router settings to switch the Primary port). Using CAT 6 ethernet cables.
Then I am going from the router to the 2.5 gbps port on my MSI Tomahwak X570S motherboard.
ONLY WHEN Bypassing the router altogether I am able to read about 1.2 Gbps from my overprovisioned 1 Gig plan (computer straight to modem).
However going through the router, no matter how I configure it or which port I use as WAN, I am limited to just under 1 Gbps.
When I click on Properties on the network, I am shown that I have 2.5 Gbps speed only when computer is connected to the 2.5 G port and the regular WAN set as primary connected to modem. However this results in just under 1 Gbps speed. Connecting the other way, with my desktop PC going to the WAN port and the 2.5 G going to the modem, Properties shows a 1 G speed capability. Either way I have a bottleneck from one of the ports on the router. I am on the latest firmware.

The router only has one 2.5GB port, as you seem to already be aware. So of course you are not going to be able to get both 2.5GB WAN and LAN at the same time. Using the 2.5GB WAN connection, you will enjoy a bit more wireless bandwidth (theoretically, at least) but your wired clients will be limited to 1GB Ethernet.

or maybe you might try
modem --- 2.5GE ---- Router ----link aggregation(LACP) ---- MSI board (add additional Ethernet card to make teaming port)

teaming port is to use 802.3ad to aggregate 2 1G LAN ports to be 2G port, but your PC need to have 2 LAN ports as well.
You can make your PC (2 ports) - Router LAN (2 ports) - WAN 2.5G - modem 2.5GE
