Hi @jwr ,
To connect 2 devices, each with 2.5Gb ethernet, to the 10Gb port on the HH4000 you'll need an unmanaged switch with 2.5Gb ports. Like this one: https://amzn.to/3vvWUZN
You'll need an ethernet cable going out of the switch into the HH's 10Gb port. I suggest a Cat 6 cable.
Cheers,
ZaneP

Are you looking to connect multiple cables to one device or connect multiple devices? If you’re looking to connect one device at the full speed, the silver port on the home hub has a max speed of 10gbps. You should be able to reach 1.5gbps if your device has a 2.5gbps Ethernet port and you connect it to to the home hub’s silver port with a cat6 Ethernet cable.
