Hi  @LordSnake 

It's true. If you would like more than 100M from the client side, you may consider replacing the CPE510 to CPE710.

CPE710 has gigabit LAN ports.

  @Vincent-TP I am not so worried about the ethernet port, as I only need that for devices that cannot do wireless, which don;t need much bandwidth

what I don't understand is if the devices can communicate wirelessly with each other at 300mbps, why can't they also provide wifi to the client at the same speed?

The other related issue is that support told me bridge mode is no longer supported and not recommended, and I should use AP mode, meaning I must use ethernet connection to the router, which will be a PITA.

Is anyone aware what the issue is with bridge mode?

Hi  @LordSnake 

Without a LAN port which supports more than 100M, even you could get ~300M wireless speed, the LAN won't be able to receive more than 100M.

Yes, CPE710 doesn't support bridge mode anymore.

Bridge mode requires omni-direction antenna, while the direction of CPE710's antenna is only 9° (Azimuth)/7° (Elevation).

If you need to use bridge mode and require more than 100M speed, neither CPE510 nor CPE710 can do this.
