RBR 50 compatible with Virgin 1gbp connection / Superhub 4 or 5?
Hello All Currently I use by Orbi RBR50 with the Virgin Superhub 3. However, I am looking to upgrade to the 1gbps package, which I believe comes with their Superhub 4 and/or 5. Are there a...
Wireless AC isn't going to hit gigabit speeds over wireless. You should still be able to hit gigabit speeds over the wired connection though.
Thanks - but i would assume at least 5-600mbps right?
have you tried it with the superhub 4 or 5?
I don't have a superhub at all.
But expect more realistic speeds of around 400mbps if at close range. Lower with distance interference. Heres a well written review that tests it.

Orbi was the top performer for AC mesh systems so if you're needing faster wireless speeds, you'd need to upgrade to AX. But most people don't need faster wireless as most things wireless (streaming, gaming, etc) don't use a ton of bandwidth. For example, 4k streaming only takes 25-40mbps streaming. Gaming is even less. Its only if you're really doing data intensive tasks (system backups, etc) that you need more bandwidth. Plus its usually not the router that's even the bottleneck but the device you're testing on.
