Which LAN port to use on Asus 570-E Motherboard?

Of the 2 LAN ports (2.5g LAN port and LAN Port) which one should I use? I have 350Mbps Virginmedia internet and a home NAS.

Any you wont be restricted at 350mb they both can handle that.

Thanks. I assume that one is a 1G and the other is 2.5G?

I would use the 1Gb one as its Intel, unless your rooter supports 2.5Gb.

I should be ok. I have Orbi 353 router that has 3gb port.

Pretty sure the Orbi RBK353 are only 1gb ports.

I stand corrected - you are right, it is 1gb port. I am using the 1Gb port on the Asus MB and the speeds I get are about 380-400+Mbps (wired and wireless). The phone is close to the base Orbi router.
