There seems to be conflicting messages on the box / tech specs.
For example, specs say Download Speeds: (Wi-Fi 6) speeds up to 7.8 Gbps , yet the box says “perfect for 500 Mbps speed internet plans”.
Do i need to get 500Mbps plan or will 2 of these work for a 1000Mbps plan ? I prefer to get the 1000Mbps plan, use the xFinity Gateway and use BridgeMode with these 2 Arris routers. Thanks all!

The Wi-Fi and Internet speeds are different. The Wi-Fi speeds are Wi-Fi connection within the home network. The W30 can handle up to 7.8 Gbps. Internet speed is connection from the ISP to the modem or router. You can use either 500 Mbps or 1000 Mbps plan. Since the W30’s Internet (WAN) Ethernet caps at 1000 Mbps, you will be capped at 1 Gig if you subscribe Internet speed higher than 1 Gig.

Makes sense, thank you.
Wish they just said "Good for 1000Mbps plans"! Not 500...
