I purchased the subject cable modem/router with voice to accommodate my IP (Comcast) speed of 1Gbps but was told by Comcast that this router would not accommodate those speeds. I had Comcast to my ho...
You're not going to get 400-600mbps out of a combo unit.
The combo units have to share their power and processing capabilities between the modem, the router, and the phone (since its a voice unit).
So their limited there.
There's also a lot of limitations based on the device you're testing on. A 1x1 antenna device is only going to hit half the speed of a 2x2 device.
Even netgears triband AC orbi units struggle to hitt 600mbps over wireless and thats using a mesh system.
Some of the higher end AC units can hit 600mbps but again, thats contingent on the capabilities of the wireless device you're testing on.
I think there's a few misunderstandings on actual wireless performance.
I'd read through this article a bit. It helps for understanding wireless performance and misunderstandings.
