Highest Internet Gig Speed not fast - C6300v2

Question

I just upgraded to highest speed w/ Xfinity, yet nothing has changed with the speed. Their customer service tried a few things on their end w/out success.

I'm thinking there's something missing that I may need, whether some sort of gig port (I thought I read something about a port), or anything else from Netgear or elsewhere.

I'm using Wi-fi with the modem/router. Thx in advance if anyone may know.

Be of this model modem be of age, you'll not see near 900Mpbs over wifi with this modem. Ethernet you may with a ethernet connected PC.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
If you want near 900Mpbs speeds over wifi, you'll need a different wifi router system.&nbsp;

First, thanks for your response. I appreciate it!

You'll have to excuse my rookie questions that you might've already answered. I'm wanting to make for certain that I get exactly what I need.

So, is there any way you can let me know (apologies if repeating) the what/where again, or if Netgear has what I need if it's easy for you to copy/paste the product I need to get?

Much appreciated!

Thanks for your response!&nbsp;Oh man, I just turned a year older the other day and showing my age by having such an outdated item lol.&nbsp;&nbsp;Would you recommend a Netgear or other product, and would there be an ideal modem/router that would be best to buy? Thanks again.&nbsp;

Thanks! That's funny, I just ordered the new reg and received confirmation lol.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ah yes, overlooked it and appreciate the reminder. I will research in more detail and looks like what I'll need could be found there. Thanks again!

Thanks again.&nbsp;Xfinity's highest throughput, up and down, varies from location to location and market to market.&nbsp; Indicating you signed up for "the highest" indicates nothing.&nbsp;The first thing you want to do is look at the Xfinity list of approved and recommended hardware.&nbsp;Here is the link:&nbsp; https://assets.xfinity.com/assets/dotcom/projects/cix-4997_compatible-devices/2024.06.26%20Full%20List%20of%20Compatible%20Devices.pdf&nbsp;It is a dynamic list and gets revised every couple of months or so.&nbsp;&nbsp;
