(C6250-100NAS) Slow http traffic

My setup was working fairly well for about six months until http traffic came to a crawl this week.  All clients behind the router have very slow web access over http (essentially unusable), however ...

Darren,

 

Thanks for your thoughts.  I did check the coax and tightened it for good measure.  Unfortunately, pingtest was not reachable because of the problem symptoms.  I had Xfinity send refresh signals a few times, but it had the same result as the factory resets -- the first time helped for about 30 minutes, but subsequent refreshes did not help.

 

I rented an Xfinity gateway yesterday to help isolate the issue.  I'm getting smooth performance with the Xfinity gateway so I have to conclude that the C6250 is failing on me.

 

The C6250 2.4GHz network traffic bogged down about a month ago (while 5GHz continued to operate normally) so I assumed that it was a defect isolated to the 2.4GHz hardware.  I got around it by hooking up a travel router AP for 2.4GHz access.  That setup worked well up until this week.  It feels like whatever defect was afflicting the 2.4GHz network has now crept into the 5GHz and wired networks.
