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.

Quick update:
My Orbi RBK853, along with my Arris S33 modem, have both been rock solid since I got it installed a week ago. Really happy with it. :)
No disconnects and speed seems very stable. Also got great speeds via wifi when I tested it on my main laptop (before switching that one to an ethernet connection). 1,440 Mbps on the RBK853 itself (not usable for a single connection since the Orbi's LAN ports max out at 1 gigabit) and 858 Mbps via wifi.
Have not conducted too many wifi tests since I now have my Predator hooked up via an ethernet port on the Orbi and my other laptop intermittently has lower speeds due to trying to disable the RunSwUSB service that comes eith the Netgear A7000 adapter that I am using.
I am now working to get my A7000 adapter working without disconnects... It works fine on my Predator, but it disconnects every so many hours (no set time) on my other laptop, like many others having major issues with this adapter (youtube comments about this issue date back to 2017, yet there is no fix yet).
I tried changing some advanced Win 10 power settings (which Samsung had actually REMOVED completely out of the box, so had to create two registry entries).
So far no disconnects but it has only been about 7 hours since I made the changes (not sure what settings apply when that option is not even there...).
