RBK763S (AX4200) vs RBK763 (AX5400)

I am being offered a choice between the RBK763S which has AX4200 vs RBK763 which has AX5400.  I don't really know what the difference is.  I was told on reddit that these systems are the same and that the "S" was to mean Armour was added somehow, but it seems AX5400 and AX4200 are different.  Please help/advise.

 

Thanks

  • The 753 is a good system the 763 is also good. The 753 has a quad core processor and the 763 is a dual core. Concurrent drives the 753 is 30 and the 763 is 100. Now there are a few more differences and yes the S is for the armor security which 1 year is included. There is also a new 753P which is also an ax5400 and has the shape and size of the 763 systems

      Thanks for the response!  SO....Amazon says the RBK763S is AX4200, but I'm starting to think that is a typo.  I think either they are selling the RBK753 or they mistyped that this RBK763 system has AX4200.

       

      quad core vs dual core kind of seems important.  Does that translate into faster (small) latency speeds or something?  Number of devices the system(s) can handle?  

       

      When you say "Concurrent drives the 753 is 30..." are we talking about concurrent devices is 30 vs 100?

       

  • The (S) means the Kit comes with 1 year Armor subscription for free is all. No differences in hardware othewise.

     

    Review the spec sheet for the 760 series for all the information about the 760 series:

    There is no 750P series. 

     

    FYI about the 760 series based on the 350 series hardware:
