I'm not knowledgeable about networking - what's the benefit of having a 1gb lan and a 2.5gb wan? Why not have them both be the same?

It's primarily a wifi router so most of the bandwidth is assumed to be used by wireless devices.

Wan <—> Wired Lan + Wireless Lan

If you have a beefy wireless Lan that can pull 1.5 Gbps then the two Lan connections combined can still saturate the Wan pipe.
