ORBI RBK752 Versus RBK852

Since my internet provider can only produce speeds up to 940mps, am i better off with the RBK752?  Is the extra price paid for by the RBK852 lost because my internet speed will never go over 940mps and therefore I may not benefit from the faster speeds of the RBK852?

Both Models support 1Gb ISP speeds. I believe the 8 series has the 2.5Gb WAN port for modems that support the 2.5Gb connection rate, like NGs CM2000 series...Where the 7 series just has a 1Gb WAN port which would support your ISP speeds.

The benefits of the 852 would be more for Local networking, if you don't have internet speeds over 1Gbps. However if money is no object, you will be ready if and when ISP speed over 1Gbps are affordable. I personally have an RBK753 system and love it. It is fast and stable. It handles my WIFI6 devices with excellent speeds. And I found it enhanced my internet WIFI speed compared to the RBK53 system I had previously installed, especially the WIFI6 devices, like my phones, laptops and a couple tablets.
