Fiber support Question

[TORN]

I just upgraded to fiber. I get 2.1 Gigs down and 2.1 gigs up. The R3 is set at 1 gig. 
 

is this all it can handle or is there a setting I’m not seeing? 

[Netduma Fraser]

It's limited to 1Gbps so you won't be able to utilize half the speed through the R3

[TORN]

That’s what I thought. Is there another model/make you’d suggest that can handle that?

[Netduma Fraser]

There aren't any existing DumaOS routers that can handle more than that that are current

I found when I first got my fibre 1gb download i could only get that speed using Ethernet cable, most wireless devices will only get around 600mbps download unless you have the latest tech.

in order to take full advantage of 2 Gigabit fiber connection, you would need a router with at least 2.5 Gbps ports and computers with 2.5 Gbps ethernet ports. No game consoles or other electronic devices have faster than 1 Gbps ports. I dont think a lot of people who pay for 2 Gigabit fiber internet realize they will really never be able to take full advantage of that much bandwidth. My 1 Gigabit fiber actually comes in at 1.25 Gbps but I have exactly one device that can even see that speed! And that requires plugging it straight in the fiber gateway. The  most bandwidth the R3 is going to max out at is 950 Mbps.
