Max speed with gigabit fiber
Hi - I have an Orbi RBK50v2 system (RBR50v2 + 1 RBS50v2) connectded directly to the ONT. My provider is CenturyLink and I've subscribed to gigabit fiber. They left me originally setup with their ro...
Some have reported better speeds when in AP mode. Again, PPPoE seems to have problems on Orbi.

You're response kinda confirms my suspisions. I'm also curious if the newer Orbis would be up to the task. I don't use Circle or Armor so have the option to try AP mode. Not sure I want to shell out the $$ for the newer Orbis... I also don't *need* the gigabit speeds... but I would like it to work.
The newer Orbis (RBK8nn series) have a 2.5 Gbps WAN port so have been built for these higher fibre speeds. The product information also states...
Multi-Gigabit Internet Speeds Ready - 2.5Gbps Ethernet port support multigigabit Internet speeds available from service providers. Or use port aggregation to combine two Gigabit Ethernet (LAN and WAN) ports for multi-Gigabit speeds.
The latest Disney Circle (external) device isn't available in the UK so without Circle support built-in this isn't a choice for us at the moment. Please let me know if you do give these a try though as interested in the results.
The 2.5Gb speeds is only on the WAN side. Lan ports on the RBR and RBS are still at 1000Mbps only.
