2000M Fibre Broadband and Orbi Routers
Hi there, I have 2000m fibre broadband being installed in my home soon. The broadband provider wants to provide the Wifi router for my home use ( TP-Link Archer AX72 Pro) but I prefer to use my o...
they want to install the Tp-Link because it has a multi-gigabit port (but it only has 1x of them). Your RBK750 doesn't. Its limited to gigabit-only speeds.
Will it work with your service? Yes. But you won't get full multigig speeds.
If you're wanting mesh, you'd need to upgrade.
Or you can keep your current setup. It just means you won't be maxing out the 2gig speeds.
If you're wanting to max out the 2gig speeds with a mesh system, you'd need to upgrade to the RBK860 series (only 1 multigig port), the RBK960 series (2x multigig ports for in and out), or the RBK970 series (6x multigig ports).

Thank you for taking the time out to reply. This is super clear. I now need to decide if I stick with 1000m or upgrade to the 2000m and buy a new mesh system......Not worth having the 2000m service if I am not fully utilising
Appreciate the adivce.
