Comcast and Speed

Just upgraded to 200 from 100mbps with Xfinity.
I am still getting speeds from previous service, about 92mbps.

Restarted my C3700v2 many times and Comcast is so far no help.

They insinuated I migght be better off with newer a router supporting DOCSIS 3.1.

Is this required or just BS to cover themselves?

Re: Comcast and Speed

Are you speed testing with a wired or wireless device? Wired is preferred.

Please post a copy and paste of the modems connection status page.
Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem. Be sure the ISP provisions the modem correctly.
Be sure there are no coax cable line splitters in the between the modem and ISP service box. 
Be sure your using good quality RG6 coax cable up to the modem. 
Be sure to power OFF the modem for 1 minute them back ON.

Re: Comcast and Speed

A couple things. 

1. your power levels are pretty high. You want between -7.5dbmv and +7.5dbmv. you're 12+. a bit hot. A attenuator a even a 3x splitter could maybe help.

2. are you testing wired? or wireless? the c3700 isn't the highest performing combo device. 

3. your wired speeds. if you're testing wired. are you connecting at gigabit speeds? you're results are implying on 10/100mbps speeds.
