GT-AX1000 2.5g port

I currently have 1Gbps serice and my ISP is offering 3gbps for $10 more. I am mixed up about the 2.5G port, I currently use it as my WAN as the system offers 2.5 or 1 but if I use it as WAN wth 2.5, then the LAN ports are only 1gpbs. So if I want to enjoy 2.5 g speed to my PC with a 2.5gbps card., how do I do that
On the other hands if I connect 2.5gbps to the regular WAN port, its only set to 1gbps so whats the point of the 2.5g port?
Or am I completely mistaken here

No you're not mistaken. With only one 2.5GbE port you can only ever achieve a maximum throughput of 1Gbps to a single wired client. However, with the WAN at 2.5Gbps you could get up to 2.5Gbps aggregate throughput to multiple clients, wired and wireless. Theoretically you could achieve up to 2.5Gbps to a single wireless client (if the client is capable), but that's unlikely in the real world.

Thank you, so no real point pratically unless I buy router ( newer asus ) with 10G, 2.5G WAN/LANS
