XB8 to Switch @ 2.5GB

Asad23
I've been here awhile

Hi guys,

I have a Nokia modem connected to the xb8 in port 4. But I want 2.5gb going to my switch. What is the best set up? Should I connect the switch directly to the Nokia or move the Nokia connection on the xb8 to another port and use port4 for my switch?

@Asad23 to get 2.5 Gb/s to a switch, you need a router with multi-gig WAN and LAN ports.  Those ports would support 2.5 Gb/s into the router via the WAN port and out of the router via the LAN port, enroute to the switch.  You can't do what you're thinking with the modem in place.  It has to be replaced with a multi-gig router.  Have a look at the following posts.  They should provide the info you need, in order to understand what FTTH can deliver, and how you can use it:
