1Gbit/s FTTH and Orbi ....

I changed my ISP for a new one which offer me FTTH (1Gb/s), and I want to optimize my setup.

 

I currently have my RBK53 use as AP mode only connected to my Synology Router.

 

My new ISP gave me a fritzbox but I don't even want to open it as I believe my Synology RT1900AC is much better.

 

Obivously both my Router and RBK53 have 1GB/s limitation in ethernet, would the better option to connect the  FTTH (ONT BOX) to my Synology Router and then connect 4 different ethernet (or at least two) from the router to the RBK53 to have something like dual balancing throught the different port/eth ? Or does that make zero sense?

 

 

Thank you in advance

    Keep AP mode.


    You can't connect more then one LAN cable from the primary router to the Orbi base. Load balancing isn't supported on home class routers.
