C7100v router on Xfinity 150Mb - wireless speed much faster than wired

How are you speed testing? Web browser and speed test site or Ooklas speed test app installed on the PCs?

Try a factory reset on the modem and setup from scratch and test.

Speed testing is using Xfinity speed test.
I did a full reset and replaced all cables (except 1 in the wall) with Cat6.
I now get:
| Port | Status | TxPkts | RxPkts | Collisions | Tx B/s | Rx B/s | Up Time |
| WAN | Link Up | 109352 | 913824 | 3 | 49265182 | 1344515805 | 0:14:21 |
| LAN1 | 1G/Full | 2096809 | 1652606 | 711 | 2459751862 | 1173719188 | 0:15:56 |
| LAN2 | 1G/Full | 0:15:56 | |||||
| LAN3 | 1G/Full | 0:15:56 | |||||
| LAN4 | 100M/Full | 0:15:56 | |||||
| WLAN | 600 M | 1232 | 4755 | 0 | 1029478 | 918879 | 0:15:56 |
| WLAN | 1300 M | 0 | 350 | 0 | 885577 | 53677 | 0:15:56 |
So I have full speed (170+mbs) to all the devices plugged into the 1G/Full ports. Before it was showing all the ports at 100M/Full.
Thanks so much for the help. Seems I am good to go now!
