Netgear C3700 Modem/Router

 my internet service provider is Comcast/Xfinity -  I've had  half a dozen service calls, new wiring new this speed tests by different technicians and this evening I'm told that it's my personal router/modem the Net Gear 3700  ok so I google Net gear and you can't talk to anyone in customer service unless you pay the fee.  honestly I need to figure out why I'm paying Xfinity for 100 mbs of speed and getting less than 10 - it doesn't matter what time of day or what day of the week my speeds are REDICulous.  Any suggestions on what I can try to fix this; signed, faithly yours - desperate mom

    Hello TerryC

     

    Is it 10 Mbps on wireless or on wired connections or both? Also did you upgrade to the C3700 recently it could be a coding issue on comcasts side where your old modem is still set to 100 mbps and your new one is set to the default 10.
