  • @klausziegler5992

    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.

    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?

    • @networkshardware9994
      @networkshardware9994  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Titan. Yes, you could do that, but instead of connecting the PC to the modem, you should connect it with Ethernet to the router. Then you should be able to get a cheaper router and still get Wi-Fi in most of your home (depending on how big it is).

      @@kpsher367 Are you describing an issue with the new modem, or the old one? You said it paired with your router, however. you have to occasionally reboot, but then you said no issues. Personally, I've had modems for YEARS that I never have to reboot, so that sounds like an issue to me. So again, was it necessary to reboot the old modem or the new one?

    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 700*************hz. 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.
