not meeting internet speed
Hi, I have 600Mbps download/25 Mbps upload internet service from Xfinity. I run a speed test on my Modem C3700-100NAS & Orbi WiFi 6 RBK753S-100NAS router via Ethernet cable. I was only getting 22...
Comcast requires at least a 16x4 modem for speeds >150mbps. The fact that you're hitting 225mbps on it is actually pretty impressive.
The C3700 is technically capable of "up to 340mbps" but its based on the cable network provider. Comcast doesn't certify it for their speeds and their network won't hit those speeds on a 8x4 device.
so if you want to hit the 600mbps that you pay for, its time for a modem upgrade.
I was testing my speed fro the wired. But mostly my usage is is via wireless.
Any recommendation modem to meet my speed? Thanks.
Should I just drop the Orbi set up and just use Model: C6900 only?
Will this be enough for my internet 600Mbps download?
Thanks.
If your on a 600Mpbs ISP service, you'll need a new modem. Something like a CM1000 then connect the Orbi behind this modem to achieve 600Mpbs on a wired connection. Check with your ISP to see what they support on there network first before buying. Wireless, depending upon your wireless device support and design, may max out at around 400-500Mpbs. AX devices should be able to see near 600Mpbs depending on there design and support.
