RBK852 Specs
I am not having much luck with a newly purchased Orbi Pro so I am thinking about getting some RBK852, can anyone tell me if the AC connection is 4x4 at 80mhz or if its 2x2 at 160mhz?

Thank you for the detailed reply its very helpful,
Just to clarify its not the link rate that's the issue that is usually around 866.7 Mbps, it's the throughput when copying large files that is far slower than the EX7700

When your links are near to the max of the link rate possible, but the net rates are that poor - it does not really matter if these are 100 Mb/s or as crazy low as 17 Mb/s things are wrong or out of tune.
Please put up a new thread (ideally on the Orbi Pro thread), exactly describe the network configuration for both the Orbi Pro and the N7700 Mesh Extender, primary router, cabling and switch make/model/firmware (if a wired backhaul is in place), and USB-C<->USB hub/GbE combos (with or without host active), RTS/CTS settings on all wireless devices involved, the environment (100 Miles nobody in North Dakota or dense apartment house, ...).

Also change the CTS Value from 64 to 500 or 2347.
