Thank you for responding. The issue is me not being tech savy. I can follow all instruction. The problem i'm having is on page 32 #3 that says ( 3. Connect Ethernet port 1 and the Internet port on your router to two Ethernet ports
on your modem.) My Modem only has 1 ethernet port to plug into. Did i read too far into this and the second connection is not nessasary ?

Yep read too far. I did get all the settings changed and everthing is working except not getting over 1 gig. I have xfiniti 1.2 gig. I'm also using cat8 ehternet cables. I do have a 2.5Gbps Network card. Win 10 - CPU i9 9900K. 32 GB Ram. I will contact Xfiniti and make sure they are sending me the correct speed. Thanks again for all your help.
