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 should at least be getting 940mbps or even faster since Xfinity gives more speed than advertised.
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.
