ISP speeds
I have 1.2gbps service from comcast. Will my RBK753 router handle this speed? What is the max speed it can handle? (I have a CM1200 router)

I received an email from comcast that my internet tier has been increased from 1gig to 1.2 gig, however my speed stayed put at about 940-950gbps. I thought that perhaps the rbk753 was at it's limit with 1gig.

are you sure it wasn't a TB?
Comcast increased their data cap from 1 TB to 1.2TB

Plus its tough to test a 1.2gb connection.
I have a setup currently that allows it but if you're using the RBK and using wan port aggregation, you're already using the max wireless connection. About the only way to hit 1.2gig is to saturate the wired line while testing wireless on another device.
I've done that with my arris AX11000 (wan port aggreation is its max connection). I managed to hit around 1.18gig

Have you tried testing it with a wired connection and a wireless device at the same time (2 seperate devices)?
Also, use comcasts speedtest site.
