Router Speed capabilities
My Firmware is: V2.5.1.22
Model #: RBR40 with base and 2 satilites
My cable provider just increased my internet speed from 100mps to 200mps. My router does not show any faster speed than before. Is this WiFi Orbi capable of handling the faster mps speed and even go up to 300 mps if I chose to?
Please advise if capable or what i need to do to get those speeds.
Thank you.

What speeds do you get?
What speed do you get hardwired into the RBR40?
200mbps shouldn't be an issue with that setup.
something to keep in mind though is the orbi units bandsteer. meaning it can change devices between the 2.4ghz and 5ghz band. And if you're on the 2.4ghz band testing speed, you'll get much lower speeds.
Also, are you testing connected to a satellite? Its important to ensure that the primary router is getting full speed hardwired.
