Apparently, this is now fixed in LG-RDK_8.10.26-2309.3 which was upgraded on my router last week! Changenotes A new version of SmartWifi on the modem Improved stability and fewer crashes with the reason "Unknown" or "RG Crash" in the modem log You will no longer see 'Malformed packets' of the HomePNA protocol' when monitoring your network with, for example, Wireshark You can now create a second port forward with the same internal port to another (local) IP address When you set a fixed IP via the DHCP settings, the device name no longer changes to 'unknown' over time' The 2.4Ghz network now also sends the country code when broadcasting Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) is now correctly disabled on all modems for the 2.5GB port Re: Issues with 2.5Gb Unmanaged Switch and 2.5Gb Port Apparently, this is now all fixed in LG-RDK_8.10.26-2309.3 A new version of SmartWifi on the modem Improved stability and fewer crashes with the reason "Unknown" or "RG Crash" in the modem log You will no longer see 'Malformed packets' of the HomePNA protocol' when monitoring your network with, for example, Wireshark You can now create a second port forward with the same internal port to another (local) IP address When you set a fixed IP via the DHCP settings, the device name no longer changes to 'unknown' over time' The 2.4Ghz network now also sends the country code when broadcasting Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) is now correctly disabled on all modems for the 2.5GB port Fingers crossed!

I can confirm that 2.5GB port now works, but cannot determine the speed!

How does it override the Virgin 2.5gbe port settings? Re: Issues with 2.5Gb Unmanaged Switch and 2.5Gb Port So we need a managed 2.5gbe switch, which plugs into the router and turn off the EEE, or just use the hub 5 as a modem? Re: Issues with 2.5Gb Unmanaged Switch and 2.5Gb Port Will a HUB 5X solve our problem?
