Did I buy the wrong model ORBI RBR 750
So I bought the RBR 750 in January preparing for my internet upgrade. I just got upgraded to ATT 2 gps but I am getting no where near that speed. Looking at the documentation, the yellow wan port in the back is a 1gps, but other documentation says its up to 4.2 gps. Did i get the wrong one?
Thanks
yes you did.
The 7 series (rbr750) only has gigabit ports. the 8 series has a 2.5gig wan port. The 9 series is even more capable.
the 4200 speeds is the aggregate of the wifi bands. Not the wired bands.
But even if you have 2gig services, not many devices can even use it or need it. I have 1.4gig speeds and the only time I max them out is if I"m speedtesting the speeds.
