Upgrading to 2GB connection with Orbi RBR850 Router

Are there any issues doing this upgrade with my current equipment?

Just be aware that you'll not see 2.5Gb out the LAN ports on the 850 series. IF you want to see beyond 1Gb on the LAN side, you'll need a Orbi 770, 960 or 970 series.

Thanks. I figured out the LAN issue. Here's another question. Are my 850 satellites compatible with the 770, 960 and 970 routers?

  I got word from a different user that there 850 series connected to there 960 series, but not the 970 series.
  
  Possible changes in newer FW could allow them to work. No idea if NG officially supports this or not.
