Orbi RBK853 (upgrading from RBK753S)- Comparison tests thread (speed and signal strength)
Well, I only recently upgraded from an RBK53 to an RBK753S (AX4200) and certainly did not expect to upgrade again so soon. However I have since gotten an internet plan speed upgrade for a nominal mon...

True, although keep in mind you can still use over one gigabit per second, just not on one single device.
Meaning you can still spread it across the network. With my 1440Mbps of provisioned bandwidth, I can use the full 940 Mbps of a 1 gigabit ethernet connection for a large download for instance and still have another 540 megabits per second for the rest of the devices in the house.
So in that sense it is still good to have over 1 gigabit per-second provisioned.
I may try the Killer link aggregation which comes built-in with my killer Wi-Fi adapter and killer Lan connection. I don't believe there is any extra cost for this.

True, bandwidth spread cross the network will work. It's just the conenct rate vs acutal bandwidth seen on 1 device will have many factors in seen anything over 1000Mbps on the down. Something that currnent consumer home products have not quiet yet broken into though we are seeing some cracks. I bought a 2.5 and a 5Gb USB 3.0 to Ethernet adatpers off amazon for fairly expensive cost and a 2.5Gb ethernet PCIe adapter for my desktop a few months ago. So we are seeing some support starting to appear. 10Gb I feel is still a ways off. Really need HW and CPU devices to be able to handle that kind of speed though my in wall cabling is ready for it.
