CM1100 - slow speeds
Hello All, I have signed up with Xfinity for GIG speeds. The best speeds I get from my Netgear CM1100 is 500 MBS. I also have an Orbi system connected directly via Cat 6 Ethernet cable. I had X...
1. What speeds do you get if you directly connect to the modem? Oddly enough they are slower directly connected to the CM 1100 - I have an ORBI RB50 system. I get 90 mbps per sec from the Orbi on OOKLA and 45 MBS on OOKLA directly connected to the 1100.
2. Do you have a screen snip of your modem connections page? I don't
3. The speeds you're getting from the orbi, are these hardwired speeds or wireless? all these tests are with a new Cat 6 Cable. No wireless.
4. What website are you testing the speeds with and what device. Some devices can't max out gigabit. Using OOKLA and there is a speed test via the Orbi App. In the Orbi App I get from 450 mbs to 510 mbs (down). I am paying for GIG speeds with Xfinity so even if you add in overhead/interference etc.. I should be closer to 800 mbs.
What is the speed rating on your wired PCs network adaptor? 100Mbps or 1000Mpbs?
Check the connection rate of the PCs network adapter.
Try a different wired PC if possible to compare speeds with the CM1100.
