Thanks for posting the Amazon question.

 

If it's on the internet, it must be true.  Not!

 

Easy to test.  If the RBK10 router is connected to an Internet Service Provider with a contract greater than 100Mbs, run a Speed Test and see what it reports.  If the result is greater than 100Mbs, that would seem illogical.  Another method is to look at the Orbi web browser interface (not the 'app'). Open the Advanced Tab and click on Show Statistics in the blue box.  It reports the data rate at which the WAN and LAN ports are connected.

 

I happier with the idea that a well-meaning person made a typo than the alternative that they are "dumber than dirt."
