Orbi ac2200 with rbk 30 1300 square feet

I am thinking of purchasing an Ac2200 rbk50 to cover a 2 story home 1300 sq feet. I currently have a amplifi hd mesh system..the through put is horrible. I get 340 mbs out of modem and only 102 mbs wireless 20 ft away. Will the AC 2200 give me at least 300 mbs wireless? Q

    I wouldn’t call 102 mbps horrible.

    You said you got 340 mbps with your modem. Was this wired or wireless?

    You should figure out why you are not getting more speed from AmpliFi first. If you have a configuration problem or RF noise, Orbi will not solve those issues.

      Yes that is wired...I have talked to the folks at amplifi..and made some changes..also my ring doorbell drops out often..it's only like 15 feet from the main router...I had a amped wireless router before the amplifi I could get 300 mbps wireless from it downstairs..around 170 mbps upstairs..out at the pool around 150 maps..but it just decided to quit working one day...can the ac2200 do 300 mbps wireless? Is it capable?
