Perhaps your confusion is related to the way you intend to make use of your network and bandwidth. (This is related to my question which you have discounted/ignored twice) If you intent is to do high volume downloads to multiple devices then the pipe to the street (your WAN) had better be larger than the sum of the pipes in your house (your LAN) or you will have problems. On the other hand, if your intent is to do high volume transfers within your home (LAN) but not out to the internet (WAN) then the pipe to the street doesn't need to be that large.
So the question remains: What is it that you plan to do that requires the high bandwidth? The answer to that will drive how much pipe to the street you need and how big the pipes in your house need to be.

I think if people are going to be snarky, they should try to know what they are talking about.

Apparently it is you who are ignoring my posts. I answered your question before you even asked it and after. And I am not confused about anything. Everything is working wonderful for me with a very high speed LAN passing lots of data INTERNALLLy (LAN) and sufficiently for that which I am posting to the cloud. And that is because I had previously set up my LAN as described by the OP.
Maybe you could start over and say thanks to the OP for his helpful post and stop trying to win some sort of snarkiness battle.
