XDA warns that routers with mixed-speed LAN ports can limit multi-gigabit Ethernet performance.
XDA posted that many consumer routers combine 1 Gbps and multi-gigabit LAN ports on the same device. Connecting an Ethernet cable to a slower port can reduce speeds below what the connection should support. The post links to an XDA article that advises checking port labels or specifications before use. The packet also lists the Ubiquiti Dream Router 7, which includes four 2.5GbE ports plus a 10G SFP+ port.
