Cm1000

Hey everyone. I am new to this sight and my knowledge is not extensive. First let me say I have Xfinity 1G plan, new cm1000, new R7800. My WiFi speeds grime the router are between 610 and 630. On a 1G plan, should’nt I be seeing at least 800’s? There are no new updates available. Any beginner level suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Firmware on the router? 

    What site are you testing on? if you're on xfinity try speedtest.xfinity.com

    what device are you testing on? 

    do you get full speed connected to the modem?

      Run my test on the nighthawk app. Download is 610 to 630. Uploads are low 40’s. Ping around 13-15.

        Don't use the nighthawk app. It works well on slower lines but mine has never maxed out my gigabit. 

        You need to hardwire into it and try several sites. Even the standard speedtest.net site can pick bad servers and needs to be changed sometimes. 

        So try it hardwired into a pc.

        And try a couple different speedtest sites.
