I upgraded from Xfinity 100 Mbps to 600 Mbps. plan. I was also not getting close to 600 Mbps. with hard network cable connection. Required Comcast Technician to come to my house and test the cable from outside to my home. It required them to run a new line as my house was older and the old cable line needed to be replace. They will also check if you have any cable splitters or coax cable wall connection that may cause signal drops. Finally the Comcast Technician stated in order to take full advantage of the higher internet speed, I would need a cable modem that is DOCSIS 3.1 - NOT 3.0. !!! I have a Netgrear CM700 cable modem attach to a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 router - I get around 450-500 Mbps with a 'hard' network connection directly to the modem or router. And about 60 Mbps with 2.4 Ghz wifi connection (which is plenty fast, I have normally 10 devices on wifi at a time (family phone & ipads & laptops). Note: Your wifi bandwidth is shared across all your devices! More devices you have connected to your wifi, the less bandwidth you have. I would suggest to contact Comcast to come to your house and run a diagnostic check on your physical line to your house. After they confirm you are getting the right signal and cable speed, you can upgrade to a DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem/router with MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) - means it can handle multiple devices.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I had a simlar problem with comcast. I had them come out and they cleared alot of congestion in the line. There were unnecessary splitters in the line that he removed. It increase speed immediately. All that congestion in the line was from the previous residents so if you moved into a new place who knows whats in that wall.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I use this model and I get the rated network performance, to within a few percentage points, and have at multiple locations. Networks were 150Mbps to 500Mbps (Cox, Comcast). Make sure you are not far away from the router/WAP, and try using the 5G SSID to test your link. Many phones cannot keep up with 600Mbps, so consider trying it with a laptop.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, I’m around 350 at the 600. I’d call them.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you switch the wifi to 5mhz instead of the 2.5 mhz it might help
