Wireless data rates

[MichaelH]

I have AT&T internet with 1 Gigabit data rate connected to the Ruckus R510. Would it be worth the money to upgrade to a new router with 2 Gigabit data rate? Would I see a big increase in the 5 Ghz wireless data flow?

Thanks.

Hi @MichaelH 

Sure, let me share the link, however the ICX7150 must be connected to a device that has an SFP port and require using an SPF cable that can negotiate 10G speed, so if the ISP router is 2G port, will negotiate to 1G only, now there is only two SFP ports and the Access Points will negotiate to 1G because are 1G Ethernet Port, now we are talking about wired data transfer, the wireless environment will be another thing.

OK. So who do I call to get a license? Also, do I need to buy the connector for the fiber optic cable to plug into? The two SFP ports on my switch are empty.

I contacted the 855 support number. The options announced are less than helpful. I spoke to one tech support person who told me I need to contact a reseller to get a license and SFP switch. If you identify as a Lennar Home customer, it just sends you back to the forum.

So what option am I supposed to use given that I need a license for the switch for higher data rates?

Hi @MichaelH

The SFP is a cable and SPF end that you need to purchase the ports are capable, but you're required to get those cables and SPF, now with the potential license purchase, we need to confirm with Sales, because Lennar Home clients do not have an account with support, I will back to you tomorrow with a potential resolution for that.
