RBK853 vs RBE973
Hey everyone. Hoping someone could share some real world experience... I currently have an RBK853 system. While getting 1GB at the router, the speed drops significantly to sub-300 in my office....

I neglected to mention Multimedia over Coaxial cable (MoCA - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimedia_over_Coax_Alliance ) There was a time when most houses had television coax running through the house to almost every room. (much like that old telephone cable was run throughout the entire building!) MoCA is capable of very high speed, and the adapters are also inexpensive.

Thanks. Definitely greater than 30' between RBR and RBS. But less than 50'...
Not reading great things on those adapters, but it may be worth a try.

Might try the RBS at around 30 feet to see if it might help some.
Ya if you can get them ethernet connected, might be worth it.
