Why am I not getting maxed speeds with my modem?
Recently upgraded to Gigabit Extra with Xfinity and I am not seeing no more than 700 to 800mbps down. Even while testing with a direct connection. My modem signals are within specs and I think I shou...
so you're hitting full speeds according to that test.
A couple things.
1. do you have a screen snip of the cable connections page and event logs?
2. what site are you testing on? Try testing on xfinity's test site. Many test servers can't saturate gigabit. speedtest has gotten better but some of its servers still won't max it out.
3. what device are you testing on?
I can post the logs and the signals. I am testing using speedtest, I am testing from my PC which is custom built, with a ASUS motherboard.

My attachments did not work for some odd reason.
try testing speeds using xfinity's speedtest site.
Netgear has the modem rated at 800 mbps down on their site. Xfinity has it rated at 927 mbps down since it is the CM1000v1 version and I get that its not supported on there anymore, for whatever reason. From what I understood it was because the older chip was expensive, and it had router like features, the new CM1000v2 has those features omitted. With the Xfinity speed test this is what it showed directly connected to the PC. It seems the attachments take a few minutes to show up. Still no over provisoning on the download but the upload it did have it.
