Does the Nighthawk XR700 Router support 2 gigabit internet speeds?
Does this router support 2 gigabit speeds via ethernet? I see an option for 10G LAN SFP+ Port (10 Gbps) but I'm not sure what this is. I tried it and my internet turned off. I just had 2 gigabit int...
The satellites, i.e. RBS are the remote MESH devices that are placed out in remote locations from the router, i.e. RBR.

No.
Only the RAXE500, RAX200, RAX120 and Orbi RBK850 series and RBKE960 series have multi gig WAN ports. The RBKE960 series have a 10Gb WAN port and 1x 2.5Gb LAN port.
The announced RS700 has both 10GB WAN and LAN ports.
when is the RS700 available?
thanks. so what I could do with the Orbi 960 is get a 2 gigabit 8 port switch and connect it to the 2.5 gig ethernet port. Would this give me 8 2.5 gig ethernet ports? If not, is there a way to go about doing that?
Yes. I have the XS-505M and GS110MX switches used with my 960. There are other multi gig supporting switches out there.
