Speed drop off?
I have Xfinity cable 600/15. I reset my modem last night and when I logged on this morning I was getting 500 to 700 Mps downloads. Wired direct to the modem. I got 16-18 Mbps uploads. I then wired my modem to my Router and wire my router to my computer. I checked my speeds once again and had the same results. The speeds were good all morning. After lunch they dropped down to 40 to 50 Mbps???? Why does it do this? It does not go back up unless I restart my modem, something that nobody whats to do all the time. Can you make any suggestions as to where to look. Xfinity was at my house and the lines are all good and the speed to and from the modem are very good as well. Please help!!!

The speed is the same, if I am wired direct to the modem or wired direct from the modem to the PC. I did not turn off the modem for a minute. Xfinity did test my coax cable and the speed was good. I have 1Gb coming in on the line before the modem. Then they checked it from the modem and was getting 600 Mb - 700 Mb/sec. I paying for 600 Mb/sec service. I have an old network card in my computer a 10/100 I just bought a new 10/100/1000 and put that in. I will be testing it tomorrow. I will send you feedback tomorrow. My router is Orbi Pro with on satellite.

I unpluged my modem last night for one minute. Then pluged it back in. In the morning being wired to the modem I was getting 600 to 700 Mbps download. I then had the modem direct wired to the router (Orbi Pro) and the speed was the same. All morning. I came back at after 1 PM and the speeds dropped to 117 Mbps. The next time it was 42 Mbps. Upload stays the same around 16 - 17 Mbps. Any ideas I could check to see why my speeds drop off?
