CAX80 Xfinity Speed Issues
So purchased a CAX80 because I upgraded to a 900Mbps plan on Xfinity. Anyone else having slow speed issues? Activated the device fine, connected to the 5ghz connection and ran a wireless speed test...
Latest Firmware version.
Using MSI laptop and cell phone.
Shows Netgear channel is set to Auto and under 5ghz settings I changed that channel to 48.
Disabled Smart Connect, Armor Security and Traffic meter.
Picking up about 14 other networks in the area.
When I tested ethernet connection, I was getting similar speeds.
After the above changes, tested 131Mbps on phone, 121Mbps on laptop.
The coexistence setting only allows me to enable or disable the 20/40 setting. Does not allow me to select one or the other.

Might try channels 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz if you have a need for this frequency.

Had any of these been enabled before?
Do speeds decrease with SC enabled?
