Hi, I’m a Comcast customer, just bought the 1 Gig Internet, and bought a CM1000 and Google WiFi. I’m getting roughly 160 mbps down via Ethernet and 500 mbps down via WiFi. Comcast is at a complete ...
always verify it directly connected to CM1000 after a fresh power cycle to confirm you are getting close to a gigE performance.
I did that - and it didn’t help.
what speeds do you see with your PC directly connected to modem?
is your PC/Laptop spec high-end and you are not using USB<>ETH adapters?
Please post connection table from the modem.
I'm using CAT 5 cable. I have a Surface Pro 3 PC running W10. My wireless router is a brand new Google WiFi. My wired connection speed is roughly 100-150MBPS today, and my wireless is 500MBPS. I'm paying for 1 Gig.
When I run ipconfig here's what it shows for Ethernet.
