New GigaHub Ethernet Port Speeds
Hey everyone,
I signed up for 3Gbps Fibe internet a couple weeks ago and got one of the oval GigaHubs, and see that Bell just announced the new hardware the other day which includes WiFi 7, I'm hoping to be able to swap the hardware out but have some questions. First off - just got off the phone with client care and they have no clue what I was asking about, they don't seem to have training or any information on the new GigaHub, so even if I wanted to swap the hardware out I can't do it via the phone. The Bell store here in town said they had them in inventory, but it doesn't sound like they'd be able to help in store.
The main thing I need out of the new GigaHub is multiple 10G ethernet ports. As of now, the current GigaHub only has 1 single 10G ethernet connection, but I need at least two as I just ordered a Whole Home WiFi pod and would want to run a Cat8 cable from the GigaHub upstairs to the next floor of the house, but doing so now requires that I purchase another 2.5G+ switch so I can have 1 cable run to my office (where it ends in a 2.5G switch), and the second cable run upstairs to another 2.5G switch where the Home Wifi Pod will be connected to, and other ethernet devices.
Otherwise, if the new GigaHub is still limited to 1 10G port I may not be as bothered to upgrade at this time. Thanks!
