Orbi RBR 752 only testing @ 940mbps Xfinity modem tests over 1 Gbps
Performed a speed test with my Orbi RBR 752 and with an Xfinity supplied modem and the Xfinity modem outperformed it. The Xfinity modem would reach speeds of 1.2 Gbps when the Orbi would max at aro...
I forgot I upgraded my cable modem and it has a 2.5 gig port so link aggregation isn't an option. Right it's shared bandwidth. And honestly we don't notice any real slowness, so at this point its really about whether xfinity is being honest in what they say they are delivering. Its a shame I bought the 750 and then the 850 came out.
Thank you for the responses.
correct. Starts getting a bit pricey when you get into 2.5gig equipment.
Plus many only have 1x 2.5gig port. So even if your internal speeds are 2.5gig, their output is only 1 gig.
There's a few exceptions to that like the CAX80 that has its own internal modem so can get faster speeds and then has the 2.5gig port to connect something to it. But unless you have a 2.5gig switch (expensive as well), you're only going to get 1 device that gets those speeds.
I have 1.4gig speeds and can't say I need that fast or even use it the vast majority of the time.

I believe the 850 appeared, at least here in the USA, before the 7 series did.
