RB50 and 2 satellites
What is the max speed the RB 50 can push?
Does netgear have a solution that can push 5 gig speed?
Certainly. Like every other WiFi vendor, Netgear has routers with all sorts of capacity. For example, these models have a WAN port capable of 10G, 5G, 1.5G, and 1G Ethernet:
- WiFi6E 960
- WiFi6 860
- WiFi7 870
- WiFi7 970
They also feature WiFi6, WiFi6E, or WiFi7 capability which delivers higher speed to devices which support those protocols (typically the most recent - and most expensive - iPhone and Android phones. and add-on WiFi adapters for laptops and desktops) These models are also "not cheap". (Dare one say that $1,999.00 for one router and two satellites might be considered a bit pricey?)
That leaves the question of what can a person DO with a 5G ISP connection? Streaming 4K video requires about 25Mbps. So, a regular 1G ISP download could keep 10 televisions streaming movies while a dozen phones/tablets browsed the web, did email, etc. ISPs offer great pricing on fast connections because very few customers use even a fraction of it.
