My Netgear C7000-100NAS Nighthawk DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Mode is not getting the full speeds
I just bought a new Netgear C7000-100NAS Nighthawk DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Mode and replaced my old netgear modem. Before I switched them, I was getting > 100 download and > 10 upload speeds on the older model. I set it up using the standard set up recomendations. Now I am getting ~ 35 on download speeds and >10 on upload speeds. I used the same cables and connections, but I still can't get more speed out of it. Any suggestions on what I should check? I am not super technical, but I am pretty tech savvy.
Thanks for any help.

Or have a moderator move this to the correct section.
Disable any QoS settings on the modem. Speed test with a LAN wired PC.
Thanks, I'll try these suggestions.
Having modem with DOVSIS 3.0 is one thing. This means just the capability of the modem. It depends on your ISP. Another word modem is a
passive device. It can not dictate the line speed or band width.
I have xfinity and this is a modem they recommend - I have 200 blast speed so I should be getting a lot more than 35. My previous older modem only handled up to 100 which is why I changed.
