Nighthawk R8000P Speeds above 1 GHz
I just upgraded my speed with Comcast to the 1 GHz tier. According to Comcast it's actually 1.2 plus with over provisioning.
I have a new modem coming that will handle that speed, but what about the router?
I have looked online and found a Netgear router that does have a 2.5 GHz wan port, but all the lan ports are 1 GHz.
Is there a wireless router on the market for what I am looking for or is 1 GHz the limit now?
Thanks

Re: Nighthawk R8000P Speeds above 1 GHz
the problem is that most singular devices aren't going to use >1gig.
I've got a CAX80 and a RAX200. Becaue the CAX80 can use its 2.5g as an ouput, its easier connect a 2.5gig switch to it.
there's a few routers that have 2.5/5/10g ports as well as the ability to lan port aggregation.
So it is possible to hit >1gig speeds but again, most devices won't use it.

Re: Nighthawk R8000P Speeds above 1 GHz
Thanks for that reply, very much appreciated.
I was wondering about that when I was looking for a new modem and a router that would handle it.
The only reason I have the 1 GHz service was because my contract was up and when renewing it that package that included the 1 GHz was the cheapest.
Have a new MB8611 modem coming this week so will leave it at that.
Thanks again and have a good safe evening.
