Hi all,
Over the phone with advanced technical support, Comcast re-tuned some of the channels or signals between the their box and my modem and gradually reduced static to where I could get my full 400mbps download (even up to 480mbps download due to the 20% overprovisioning) with a computer connected directly via 5e cable to my modem.
However, even after restarting the modem and my router, I still cannot achieve any faster than 195-199 mbps via wifi or with Ethernet hooked up from my computer to my router. This leads me to believe that now that the Comcast speed is fixed, the router is the remaining roadblock.
I have already tried disabling device prioritization, or re-enabling it and setting my maximum ISP provisioned speed (or setting it as unlimited). I am testing with a device that is on the priority list and there aren’t other competing network activities.
No dice, stuck in the 180’s-190’s downloads for anything behind the Linksys EA6700 router. I’ve been searching this forum and haven’t seen anything quite the same (where changing device prioritization to one of many combinations didn’t help). I’ve achieved a download of up to 480 mbps wired into my modem. But can’t beat 200mbps via wireless or wired Ethernet into my router, with either of 2 laptops, and iPad or an iPhone.
The router firmware is up to date. I have tried turning off a few firewalls, testing, and then reactivated after they didn’t change the results.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thanks for your time ladies and gentlemen.
I’ve recently (past month) been going through some signal issues with Comcast/Xfinity that seem to be resolved now. My Internet package speed had received speed upgrades from 250 download to 300 to 400. And I’d never seen an increase in speed despite reprovisioning of the modem, replacing (along with reprovisioning and restarting) the modem, and ultimately ending up with a new Motorola Mb8600 Docsis 3.1 modem to ensure that was not the issue.
Comcast replaced my wall-jack when there was a signal issue (complete loss of internet) a few weeks ago. But that resolved that issue and I didn’t see any performance improvement from the previous baseline until today.
