Hey so i am bored at home during quarantine so i have been playing around with my network. I discovered something which is interesting and I need someone's view/validation on it.
I have Comcast and lease their xb6 modem, soon to be xb7, because of the free unlimited data.
I can not use bridge mode because there is a bug, or "bug", with Comcast modems where the speeds are throttled from 1000/35 to 650/35.
The xb6 has two LAN ports, and both ports are in DMZ. I connected them to my ac88u as dual wan load balance 1:1.
So the interesting this is everything is working, and actually working too well. I get more than 940ish mbit total now across two devices since Comcast plan always has some overhead since the 1000/35 plan can reach as high as 1200/50 when used with the xb7 which has a dedicated 2.5g port.
It looks like I am actually getting 1200/50 with my dual wan 1g to xb6. Does this seem right or are the numbers just faked/incorrectly showing?
This leads to my second question, when i do get a the xb7, i was planning on paying big dollars for the Asus router which has the +2.5g ports. Since I am not going to ever get the full 2.5g only 1200/50 from Comcast, can i just keep doing my hack?
