CM2000 and Orbi 850

[donawalt]

HI all, I noticed the Netgear CM2000 is now out.

For those on the Orbi 850 system with a CM1200, this won't buy any extra speed with a Comcast Gigabit service will it? The CM1200/RBR850 combo using LAG gets 1195 down with direct connect Ethernet in the 940 range, I don't think the CM2000 does any special magic to pull down faster sppeds does it?

Both the RBR850 and the CM2000 have a 2.5g port. 

It tends to work better, more stable than wan port aggregation. 

I've had better speeds stability off my CAX80 using the 2.5g port than using port aggregation on any of my other setups.
