Got 2.5Gig service but no wired devices can use above 1 gig service. Have 2 WiFi 6/7 routers so 2 2.5igig TP-Link switches now allow both routers Wifi faster than 1 gig speed using my Samsung S22 phone for speed test. Getting 1.6gig speed standing next to Router so Switch passed speed from Modem correctly.
