Model: OC200   ER8411  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 5.7.6

Hi at all!

 

My ISP have upgraded my fiber connection from 1Gbit to 2.5Gbit.

 

The ISP modem has four 1Gbit LAN port, so I can not use all the internet band using a single LAN connection.

 

Can I use three differen LAN connection to my ER8411 router in order to use all the available internet band?

 

Many thanks!

  @GianfrancoPa Easier than you think, just get an SFP that can match the 2.5G speed of your ISP's modem.

Thanks for the reply.

 

Unfortunately, the ISP modem has only 4 Ethernet Port at 1Gbit, no others Port available. I can not use any kind of adapter...

Weird, my FTTH ISP does the same kind of upgrades, but their latest modem does have a 2.5Gpbs capable port. It's unlikely you'd be able to do a LAG (LACP) to a residential modem, so really the only other option I can think of is to try. a second PPPOE connection from a second WAN port. Again, the ISP I use permits a second PPPOE connection and it gets a separate public IP. You'd then configure the 2 WAN ports in a load-balanced configuration.

You will need to upgrade your Modem if you want to enjoy full 2.5G bandwidth
