Hi cshep5528 , Heyrip , night64 , (cc: FURRYe38 , Blanca_O ),
If this has been after an Xfinity upgrade in your neighborhood, has Xfinity/Comcast field service technician come out to your home to verify signal strengths and troubleshoot?
Believe it or not, I have been a Xfinity/Comcast broadband customer for the last 23 years (Earlier it was "branded' as @Home, ATT, Comcast and now Xfinity). I've owned my Netgear Orbi CBK752 bundle (CBR750 (Cable Modem/Wireless Router) + RBS750 (Mesh Satellite) since November 2020. There have been a couple of Netgear firmware updates that had "issues", but I am past that now, thanks to FURRYe38 , and other Netgear Community members.
Xfinity recently "upgraded" their infrastructure in my neighborhood and had maintenance, after which I had severe degradation of performance - decrease in speed and stability issues. Remote troubleshooting with reseting at my end re-provisioning at Xfinity end did not seem to resolve the issues!
Xfinity sent a field service technician to my home to take a look at my signals and issues. Being a 23 years Xfinity customer, there was a "legacy" device outside my house where the fiber optic was dropped. Savvy field service tech spotted and removed it and I am etting 1.4+Gbps down and 40+Mbps up (subscribed to 1.2Gbps up and 35Mbps up) .
Also, if you have not reached out yet, please do so to Xfinity forum (Xfinity Community Forum > Internet > Your Home Network https://forums.xfinity.com/topics/your-home-network/602d56f9e6b3965d18e3a596
IMHO & YMMV
Wishing all a very Happy New Year,

Atejwani, thanks for the reply. To answer your question, yes Xfinity has been out to ny house and supposedly looked at the connection to my house. Also, I would think if there was something amiss there the Xfinity equipment that is working might have a problem.
