An interesting situation. With the RBR750 WAN port limited to 1GB, no devices connected to the 750 system will get any benefit from the increase in ISP connection speed unless some devices are moved from the 750 to the new router. If those devices require only internet access (and not communication with devices still attached to the 750 system) then there could be an overall improvement in performance. Otherwise, that additional 1.5GB has "no place to go".
Another solution would have been to replace the RBR750 router with an RBR840 or RBR850 router. Both of those have WAN ports capable of 2.5GB
Will the 750 system remain the only WiFi network in the house, or will the WiFi capabilities of the new router be enabled?
