Sorry for the confusion.  I am not very tech savy.  I have the Netgear Nighthawk CAX80, it is a AX6000 Wifi Cable Modem Router.  I tested the speed on my laptop wireless and hardwired.  Xfinity Speed test by Ookla and the results for hardwired were, download , upload  and a ping of .  The results for wireless were download , upload .  Not sure what you mean by what band?  We upgraded our Xfinity internet to a faster plan and this is what we are suppose to get.

 

Gigabit Internet Plan

Download speeds: up to 1200 Mbps

Upload speeds: up to 35 Mbps
