I have an old Snap era FRITZ!Box 7390 that seems to be fine on 200/10, but will this be OK on 900/400 ?

 

My main PCs will be connected via ethernet or UniFi, so I am not concerned with the wifi performance of the 7390, just if will be able to 'handle the jandal' or if I need to upgrade.

 

The 2degrees "things you need to know" page at https://secure.2degreesbroadband.co.nz/change-plan/connection  says:

 

  • To get the best possible performance with 2degrees Ultra-fast Fibre, we recommend:
  • Using a high-spec modem, such as a 2degrees Modem (model 7490)

No, this router won't do Gigabit routing.

You really need the Fritz!Box 7490. If you're on 2degrees already you can either phone them and request one to be sent out ($15 postage charge from memory, router belongs to them) or buy one from your 2degrees portal for $150 outright. Otherwise, look on Trademe.
