Is the R7000 good enough for 200/12, possibly more?
Hi, So we're getting 200Mbs down and 12Mbs up from Virgin Media soon and are going to put the Super Hub into modem mode and connect our own router. Wireless isnt very imporant but we still want i...
I have right now 200/20 (telenet cable in Belgium). The R7000 is giving me full speed on my Xperia Z2 tablet, over 5GHz, at least according to speedtest.net, so I'd say you'll be well served with it with your current connection. On the tests that I did with iperf I managed to get close to the theoretical speeds on 2.4GHz and 5GHz, so it should also handle your future speeds. Of course, it will depend on the size of your house, wall materials, neighbouring WiFi, etc.
As for the firmware, I was running the v1.0.6.28 beta for some time, and am now on the 1.0.6.54. If you don't have any arlo cameras, I'd recommend you to stay with 1.0.5 for now, as you won't gain much with the beta.
I also run an R7000 on Telenet (Belgium) business abo 240/30. It has no issues reaching those and according to SNB review, it has one of the highest throughput (WAN -> LAN and LAN -> WAN) of any AC1900-class router
The R7000 is good enough for your config.
