Hi thanks good review about the modems but

The speed of modems is usually measured in megabits per second (Mbit/s), not megabytes per second (MB/s). One megabit is equal to 0.125 megabytes, so to convert from Mbit/s to MB/s, you need to divide by 8. For example, a modem with a speed of 100 Mbit/s can transfer 12.5 MB of data per second.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE GREAT INFO !!!

Have to get new modem/router combo fast as I work from home. After researching it looks like the Netgear CAX 80 is the best for XFinity customers-Would you agree?

[prithvirajprabhu]

Info is very useful for planning house setups

[BenBike]

Thanks a lot, all the info I wanted/needed in an easy and efficient method!

I am only using this for some streaming services like HULU AND FIRESTICK. I have a 600gb plan and was recently told that my current modem is not pushing my plans speed. I just want a basic one that will work on my wireless devices.

If you can barely understand him because of his accent, changing the playback speed to .75x helps

[PaulPushkarov]

Am I understanding correctly that neither of these devices will give you upload speed more than 35 Mbit (on 2Gbit plan) due to Xfinity limitation?

So I have the 1200 plan, I have my PC connected via Ethernet. I want that one too always have access to the lightning quick speeds, but I want as much range as possible even if at lower speeds. I want the signal to reach into a detached garage. Can I plug the PC directly into a modem and cheap out on the router?

My parents go through Xfinity, not sure what modem and router we have but I know they are both older than 7 years, currently we get 80 download and 5 upload and it freaking sucks.

I have currently the x1 XFI advanced gateway modem/router. My plan has 800mb/s. I have a 2 samsung TVs that ru n wifi from it with one being about 40-50feet while the other 5 feet away. Whats the best compatible modem/router would you recommend without nreaking bank.

[roberthalbritter]

Saying megabyte instead of megabit, i wonder why people think their internet is slower than it is... all of these numbers needed devided by 8 for the average person to understand what it is in real world speeds.

I don't know. Way to many stories about how your download is is far less then what you were getting. So last week tried 2 different modems. First looked into these modems and the stories on Xfinity and others places. I did notice those that were having problems with down and up not being the same were told its at your end you seem to have a leak so to speak. Sounded true to me lol. So I get 1200d 200u. More like 950d 230u. So I get a Motorola 8611 and activate fast and got 700d 5u. Well after switching back and forth and then calling I was told everything at Xfinitys end shows I am getting 1200d 200u and seems I have a leak at my house. So a tech was going to come out. I thought it must be the new modem so send it back and get Netgear nighthawk cm2000.

Activated it and 700d 5up hmm what are the odds two different modems yet both with the same exact speed. What happens when I reactivate the XB8? 950d 230u. This was going back and forth with both. ., . made me wonder what happen to the leak? Then I get the same response others got? The last person I talked to at Xfinity granted they are not tech did say "it dose seem there is some kind of cap going on". When logging in to the modem the locked download (long number) was always about Netgear people had no clue why this was happening. I could be wrong.. maybe the XB8 is so good at bypassing those "leaks" where as no other modem can do that. Its the going right back to XB8 and you get normal speeds.

[bradbeck]

What do you mean the one modem/router you mentioned is free for anybody with Xfinity plan?

[Upgrayyed]

I understood you fine, don’t listen to the losers

[jacksampson]

Can you suggest a docsis 3.1 for under $100 us?

[nicholi]

Will I still have access to the same gui and app?
