Xfinity 1GB speed but only get about 150-200 on my XR700
Hello, I've had the XR700 for a few months now. When I first got it, we had Xfinity's 200MB service and I remember I tried the 1GB for about a month. On the Nighthawk app, I remember my speeds we...
I haven't tried those other testing websites but I'll give it a try. I figured the app would show me the speed that the router is actually getting from the modem...so if I use my Macbook Pro and go to one of those other websites...it'll tell me what the speed it via WiFi or ethernet if I have it plugged in.
I've done a full reset today but still the same issue. Out of 10-15 tests, I'll get maybe one that has 850mb speed but mostly between 100-150ish. Just weird. Even when I keep getting around 100, as soon as I do the speedtest.net speed on my phone via WiFi, I get 600+ (again, I know it won't get much higher than that...just odd that the router shows 100ish but phone via WiFi 600+). And if I do Eithernet directly to the modem (CM1100) it is 950ish almost each time.
Are you using the same test when you test the speed of the modem and the router?
