Extremely slow CBR40 Speeds, need help
I have the "Ultra Fast" 900mbps Xfinitity plan with a CBR40 modem/router and RBS20 satelite. I've never seen speeds quite near 900, but in the past it's been quite good (at least 300-400mbps over Wi...

What wifi devices do you have connected to the CBR?
Oh okay gotcha. I cannot load the Cable Connection page on my laptop over wifi unfortunately. I'm not sure why. Every other page on the router login loads fine.
I actually have 18 wifi devices connected. Most of which are smart home devices (cameras, hubs, smart thermostat etcetera).
One thing to try when you have time and when wifi isnt' needed, Turn off all but one or two wifi devices and see if this changes anything as well. 18 devices shouldn't impact anything however you never know.
