Xfinity 2gbps/200mbps service and expected speeds
I have a RBK853, and I just upgraded my suburban Chicago service from Xfinity 1200 mbps/60 mbps to 2000 mbps/200 mbps (for a price decrease of $6/month). When I speed test from the RBK850, I get ...
Based on distances of the RBR and RBS, distances between devices and RBR and RBS, and building materials and again, device design and support of it's wifi, will all play a roll in how wifi speeds end up in results.

Well, in order to get decent connection reliability, I had to cut both 2.4 and 5 ghz transmission strength to 50% … so I guess things are working just peachy and near their theoretical limits.
Given the enormous costs of moving to 6e or 7 it really doesn't make sense for me to move up … though having more than 1 gbps in my mesh would make backing up/restoring the downstairs Synology more attractive when that's needed - I wouldn't need to haul the unit up and connect it to my 10 gb private network.
That's really rare though … so I suppose I'm in a good spot now until something catastrophic happens to my RBK853.
Anyone know if the 6e and 7 feature flow control?
When I tried hooking my 10 gb switch to my RBS850's LAN port, internet speed went downhill dramatically. I got better internet speed to my iMac going out wifi 6 or through the Thunderbolt dock's gigabit connection and using the 10 gb switch as a private data network.
What is the brand and model# of this 10Gb switch?
What CAT# LAN cables are you using?
No idea if this is a good switch or not. I'm using a NG XS505M and GS110MX when I have a 9 series online.
