CV7000V2 speeds with Xfinity

Question

Hello:I've upgraded to XFINITY's Extreme Pro Internet which should give me around 800Mbs download.&nbsp; I don't get anything more than around 200Mbs.&nbsp; Wired is around 200 and wireless is around 160.&nbsp; When I swap out the Netgear device with the new Xfinity Xfi device, the speeds increase to around 650Mbs (wireless).&nbsp; Should I be making a change to the Netgear device to allow for the increased speed.&nbsp; I hate the idea of having to rent my modem/router from Xfinity.&nbsp; The Netgear device is a C7000V2 modem/router at firmware level V1.03.03.Thanks.

did you try factory resetting the c7000 and reinstalling it? Test its speed in the default configuration

No, I haven't.&nbsp; Will I need to get Xfinity involved after I do the reset?

If its connected and working, no.&nbsp;
If you had your xfinity box reprovisioned to your service, then maybe to get it reprovisioned.&nbsp;

A couple of things to keep in mind:&nbsp;The C7000V2 is a DOCSIS V3.0 device.&nbsp; Comcast will eventually recommend you upgrade to a DOCSIS V3.1 device.&nbsp; They like to protect their rental revenue stream.&nbsp;You can check here to see if your C7000V2 has the correct firmware.
