ok i had to return that c7000 modem. comcast told me the reason i was not getting the 100 mbps was that modem is not compatible with there system for my area! when i put the c3700 online i got 55 to 60 mbps and when i put the c7000 online i got 40 to 50 mbps. so it may not be entirely the network switch, that switch may have some issues but comcast told me to put the c3700 back online as that one would be better for now. they told me to get the motorola mg7700 that i see on ebay now is better. and will work on my system and they told me it is capable of 150 mbps. so i will try for one of those modems and let you all know how that one does for me. i will get at lease 1, 4 or 5 port 10/100/1000 switch for the laptops and the cameras can stay on the 10/100 switch. thanks
