    1. so you have full speed at the modem? how are you testing this?

    2. Firmware on the router? 

    3. did you install the router new or does it have prior settings running on it?---if there's prior settings, factory reset it and start over so those prior settings don't cause issues. 

    4. How are you speed testing? Device/band/etc. Or are you testing with the TV? if so, try using a different device.

        Router used with Xfinity gateway have not done a factory reset------Which xfinity gateway? a model number is better since xfinity has more than one gateway
        Have used multiple devices to check WiFi signal------which devices? wireless chipsets? Saying you've tested with a lot tells me nothing because they all have different wireless devices in them that all perform differently. 

        The less amount of data you give me, the less I can help. I'm not paid/incentivized to help you. so I'm not going to fight to drag information from you. If you want help, then help me so that I CAN help you.
