I went from ~230 Mbps to around ~450 according to the Google Home app, since it keeps a record and auto tests every few days. I have a 400 plan from Xfinity so I'm guessing my old D-link modem was a bottleneck.
So for any plan below 1Gbps both modems will perform the same.
@1Gbps the 8611 will get you a potential 250Mbps more
@1.2Gbps the 8611 will get you a potential 490Mbps more
...and the gap will widen as max down bandwidth continues to get higher
That's assuming you have the proper >1Gbps networking equipment to go along with your modem, just affects your download speed, and you don't use port aggregation.
