Connecting Ax6000 to 2.5gb switch

Model: Archer AX6000

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.24

I just upgraded my cable modem to a Motorola SB 8611 with a 2.5gb port along with Xfinity 1200. I also purchased a 2.5gb 5 port switch. I have 1 PC wired (the rest wireless) with a 2.5gb Ethernet card. My question here is to take advantage of speeds above 1gb, can I plug cable modem to switch and also plug the AX6000 into the switch and have all traffic route through the ax6000 still? I cannot figure out another way for the PC to achieve speeds over 1gb with the AX6000 only having 1gb ports.

@mikelev

If your cable modem is doing NAT already then you can do that, but the AX6000 will introduce another NAT in your network.

If that's the case and you want to avoid the doble NAT then you could set AX6000 in AP mode (case 1).

If your cable modem is in bridge mode you can't use this topology.
