Irgin Business 1Gig

[hubuh]

Hi Just placed an order for the above. Anyone know what the spec of the supplied modem will be? From what I can work out it is a 'Chita' model but that seems to only have 1G network ports. I would have thought that at least one of the ports should be rated to 2.5G to give the full bandwidth as due to overheads a 1G port will 'only' cater for around d 900M? This is going to be setup in modem mode, connected to a separate router with a 2.5G interface. Asked the question of the sales team but after raising the query to a colleague I was just advised an answer of making sur I use at least Cat5E cable to get the full speed....... Thanks

The 'Chita' router has four gigabit ports:

It's capable of delivering full speed across several devices in router mode, however, as you mentioned, limited to around 900Mbps in modem mode.
