Speed issues C3700 - 100NAS with Xfinity and a 400Mbps service plan
I just upgraded my plan through xfinity from 150Mbps to 400Mbps. My previous speed tests had results of 4.8 Down and 6.2 Up. Once they did their thing and my modem/router reset, I re-tested and got t...
I am on a wired PC. with about 15 ft of Cat5 between me and the router.
Comcast requires at least a 16x4 modem for speeds >150mbps. Theoretically it gets up to 340 mbps but comcast doesn't rate it to that.
With that being said, you're c3700 should give you faster speeds than you're currently getting.
If you're testin over a hardwired connection with a gigabit device (make sure the device you're testing with is 10/100/1000) you should be doing better.
Here's where I'd start. Connect your coax line right where it comes into the house. Remove all splitters, splices, extra cables, amplifiers from the line. Directly off the line coming in. Test from there and see what speeds you get. Also, post a screen snip of your connections page to make sure your line is good. This includes upload and download connections.
If you're still testing low, try contacting comcast and having them resend the configuration file. I've had them send the wrong partitioning before.
