Suggeastion for next iteration of MR80 mesh system

Its not in the above list, but the next iteration of the MR80 mesh system should include a 2.5Gbps port for interface with the multigig nighthawk cable modem, eh? I've already run SFTP CAT6A & added a 2.5Gbps switch. The leap from 1Gbit to 2.5 and beyond in residential products is way overdue, ISPs will be offering 2Gbps+ before most people can even use it.

    the Orbi RBK852 offers this feature. I'm sure they'd love to add a 2.5gig port to most devices but the ports are expensive to add. So its only on the premium/flagship devices so far

  • Can I add an Orbi RBK852 router and use the MR80 as a satellite?

    No. The MR80 can work with the MS80 or MS60 satellites

  • WhAt I'M Hearing Is Return My MR80 System For A $700+ orbiy System. Oh WelL.
