RBRe960 versus RBR860
My trusted RBR 850 failed. I am trying to decide whether to replace with an RBR860 versus RBRe960. I have 3 rbs850 satellites (probably overkill for my house 4500 square feet but needed Ethernet ports...
- Mar 05, 2023Figured it out! Bad Ethernet cable.
I really appreciate your assistance.
One last question - why if the RBR960 and RBR860 both can take up to 10gb download from router and I have an internet speed of 1400 Mbps according to Orbi app (xfinity feed) do I not see more than 850 Mbps on my iPhone (with Wi-Fi 6) even when in same room as router?

Thank you - the one thing I notice is that the 960 satellite appears to provide better speed (non wired when going through floors and plaster walls over a distance. Interestingly it does worse when going through more solid structures (center of my house). In idea why that would be.

I missed you point about 6e and building materials. That explains it. Thanks! You
