RBK53v2 - is it compatible with 1 gig fibre broadband?
Hello, I have had a Mesh WiFi system for awhile now and it has been great. I was on Virgin M500 but then after a moan about their increase in prices, they are transferring me to 1gig fibre broadb...
I've used the RBK53 with 1 gig service on comcast. You'll hit gig speeds on wired but not over wireless.
Even if you upgraded to an AX system, you'd need to upgrade to AX devices if you wanted faster speeds. And you'd still need to be halfway close to the router to hit gig speeds over wireless.
So its more a question of do you need faster wireless speeds and would you be able to tell a difference in everyday useage?
Debateable. I got an Orbi RBK53, RAX200/RAXE500 and can't tell much difference in everyday useage from one to the other unless I'm at a distance. Then the orbi is faster.
