 So this thing is bringing it up for extra one, one 50, 200, you know, they're right there. So I'm getting around an average of 450 through 500 megabits per second. Now, um, now let's see how it works on the PS4 391, okay, that's, that's a big difference right there. That's a big difference right there

 But yeah, bro. It has four ethernets on the back and just the coax cable, the power cable that's connected down there, right there. And I'm going to be telling you guys how to actually get it. The requirements that you need is the minimum at least of 300 megabits per second, which is their extreme plan

 I said shipped and it shipped in literally one day because I ordered it yesterday and it shipped today. Or the other way you could actually do is just call them the old fashioned way. Just call them, you know, give them all your information, just the regular stuff, right? And just order it. But remember, you do need the requirements of at minimum 300 megabits per second

 It's going to 515, 520. That's some amazing speeds. The upload speeds though is a little bit being kind of weird though. I think that might be because I just set it up

Xfinity XB7 Modem Review Latest Router From Xfinity Is It Worth The Upgrade? (How To Get XB7 Modem)

Moving from my current house which has Fios Gigabit to a new apartment which only xfinity supports.

I was looking at their gigabit plan but through some research it seems their hardware isn’t good enough. 

House has Ethernet ports so a few things will end up being hardwired. 

Was initially looking at the Netgear Nighthawk WiFi 6 router + Netgear DOCSIS 3.1 Gigabit cable modem but upon further review it seems a lot of people have issues with it... 

Need advice on best router/modem combo or option for high speeds, 2000+ square feet.

Best router/modem option for Xfinity Gigabit?

 It's $120 to add that pod. But right now, I really don't think I'd need it. I mean, you look at the high traffic areas, we're getting really, really high rates. These are the areas where people spend the most time

 And each result that you're going to see is an average of three tests that I took from the middle of each room. Look at this one. We went from 49% to 358%, 631%. Can that actually be right in room 12? Room 12 right here? Couldn't believe that one

 Today I want to talk about a recent upgrade I did to my home Wi-Fi network and internet network using Xfinity. I went from the Xfinity XB3 router to the Xfinity XB7 gigabit router. And I also switched my Wi-Fi over from the Apple Airport Extreme, which is probably about 7-8 years old, something like that, to the gigabit Wi-Fi router from Xfinity. Just wanted to talk with you about a study that I did within my house to give you an idea of the range of this base station on its own

 But before I did all this, I went around and I did tests with my iPhone XR to get speeds from a number of rooms within the home just to get an idea of what the before and after is, right? So I did testing with the Airport Extreme connected to the XB3 and then I did a test with just the Xfinity XB7. So we're going to take a look at the results of that. I'm going to show you some parameters around this. So basically, it's the gigabit service from Xfinity

Xfinity XB7 Gigabit Modem Router Real Home WiFi Performance & Range Test

They would consistently drop connections with Activision servers after about 3 minutes. The only solution was to go back to the Xfinity XB7. Which is not a good modem. The upload speed is never consistently at 40-45MBps

I am a customer of Comcast Xfinity. I recently upgraded to the Extreme Pro 1200 plan. I had a Netgear C7000 modem I purchased years ago, which worked great for connections below 1gbps because that modem supported DOCSIS 3.0.

I purchased the Netgear CAX80-100NAS for two reasons, I needed a DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem, and I wanted Wi-Fi 6 connectivity to compliment my Extreme Pro 1200 plan for my capable wireless devices.   
 

Xfinity removed my previous C7000 modem and added my CAX80 to my account. This process took less than fifteen minutes. I was up and running. I immediately went to multiple sites testing to ensure I am getting up to advertised speeds of 1.2gbps. After many short tests, I confirmed that Xfinity and the CAX80 exceeded my 1200mbps. Great.  
 

The trouble began when I began to play some multiplayer games online. My connection would seize up and continue or just cutoff completely. The disconnection occurs while my CAT6 cable is connected in to the 2.5GbE port on the CAX80 linked to the Realtek 2.5GbE Ethernet port on my PC. This does not occur while plugged in to the Intel i211 1gbps port on my motherboard. The connection worked fine for 24 hours without interruption.   
 

The next day, I wanted to resolve the issue with my 2.5GbE connection because I am paying for 1.2gbps through my Internet service provider (ISP). As some may not be aware, my Intel NIC only supports up to 1gbps. I do not believe accepting the 1gbps connection to be a solution to my connection issues for a product that is in excess of $500. I wish to have the products and services I have paid for.  
 

The rabbit hole begins.   
 

I visit Realtek’s website to update the drivers for the “Realtek PCIe 2.5GbE Family Controller” [https://www.realtek.com/en/downloads](https://www.realtek.com/en/downloads) I chose the “Realtek PCIe FE” link as this is the compatible driver for my controller. I can see that my NIC (RTL8125B) is listed. I then chose the “Win11 Auto Installation Program” for my operating system, Windows 11. I unzipped the file. Installed the driver and reconnected my CAT6 cable to my CAX80’s 2.5GbE port and the Realtek 2.5GbE port on my motherboard. As of this writing, the latest Realtek driver version is 1125.6.215.2022. The date the driver was published was March 25, 2022.  
 

I then purchased an ASUS 2.5G Ethernet USB Adapter to try to isolate that this was an issue with my Ethernet port on my motherboard and not the NIC built-in my CAX80 cable modem. I wanted to make sure I installed the latest driver for this device, and to my surprise, it too has a NIC from Realtek. The modem within this device (RTL8156B). Using the link from above, I chose the “Realtek USB FE” link this time. Using the “Win11 Auto Installation Program (NetAdapterCx)”. Unzipped. Installed. This wireless driver version is 1156.4.20.211. The date the driver was published was March 23, 2022.  
 

The problem persisted. Random cutouts throughout the day on both NICs. Absolutely random. Nothing I can replicate to isolate the cause of these disconnections.  
 

Final thoughts.

I can use my Wi-Fi 6 via the built-in wireless NIC on my motherboard. It is compatible with the CAX80 Wi-Fi 6 connections. It works well and I can get the advertised speeds. The NIC is “Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz”. It does not disconnect nor have interruptions. However, the latencies are what you receive when utilizing wireless devices. This is fine for surfing the web or watching videos, but for multiplayer competitive gaming, it is not ideal. I also want to add that my Netgear CAX80-100NAS has the latest firmware: V2.1.3.7 installed on the device.   
 

A new revision of this product is needed and the CAX80 in its current production should be recalled. A newer NIC is needed that resolves these issues. I have reached out to Netgear and Xfinity multiple times and the companies keep pointing the finger and going through the same troubleshooting processes from both support teams leads nowhere. I cannot confirm the type of NIC inside of the CAX80 and their support team stands clear of identifying it. I cannot find another cable modem on the market that offers both 2.5GbE and Wi-Fi 6. I am open to suggestions.  
 

If you wish to visit Netgear’s community-based support pages of the CAX80, you will learn that this is a widespread issue being ignored. For the less advanced users who do not have the CAX80 plugged into a 2.5GbE port will not realize there is any issue at all, as the CAX80 with an Ethernet cable plugged into its 2.5GbE port to a 1gbps port will “Auto Negotiate” a 1gbps connection and function flawlessly. Unfortunately, for us who want the highest speeds offered to us must seek other products.

UPDATE: By disabling the Wi-Fi signals from the CAX80, the 2.5GbE port will function perfectly, but that defeats the purpose of having a cable modem with wireless access.

UPDATE 2: I have returned this $500 cable modem router; No need in waiting weeks for a solution. It has been with a superior cable modem router by Motorola. The MG8725. It offers AX6000 (Wi-Fi 6) and has a single 2.5GbE port with three 1gbps ports. Uptime, two days without Internet or network interruptions. I highly recommend The Motorola MG8725 over The Netgear CAX80-100NAS. Plus, the Motorola is $100 cheaper; go figure.

The Netgear CAX80-100NAS (AX6000) Cable Modem Is Flawed

 This wireless box is called the XI6 better known as the Flexbox but it works as if it was a regular wireless box same as the DVR box where the screen layout was the same. It was a great idea and allowed us to place the TV wherever we wanted. However the new wireless box had 4K capabilities and required a consistent strong signal from the modem which the XB3 tower could not provide. So we asked Xfinity customer service what should we do and they gave us an option to get the Xfinity X5 pods or upgrade for $10 more to be on the next tier of speeds called the Xtreme at 300 Mbps and they will send us the XB6 modem

 We have had all three modems this year. We started with the XB3 which had the popular design that most Xfinity subscribers had. We never had a problem with it, it stayed connected and the range and speeds were good for what we needed. At the time we had the Blast 200 Mbps and we were clocking it with speed

 So we chose the XB6 modem only because it looked so nice and we did not want to spend $119 on a mesh system of the Xfinity X5 pods and still be using the same old tower modem. However, due to where we placed the TV in the distance of the room plus all the walls that was separating the direct signal to the modem the XB6 was not strong enough which caused the 4K wireless box to lose signal from time to time. We called Xfinity one last time and told them our situation and they offered us a new modem called the XB7. Sure enough it had the strongest signal, higher range than the other two previous molars and had solved our TV signal problems meanwhile enhancing our total home Wi-Fi network

 Unlike the XB6 that came with two ethernet cords at gigabit speed the XB7 comes with four, however each one is at 2.5 gigabit speeds. Two tone color with the gray on top and a sleeker design. Just standing a few feet away from the modem using speed

Upgraded my speed to 1200mbps.

I need new everything to meet these speeds. I stumbled into mesh and nearly pulled the trigger on a the orbi ax6000 /SKX80 as well as the Asus XT8

I’m realizing they won’t provide the “best” connection.

More or less what should I buy to meet the demand of the new incoming connection if I want to do a wired AP connection.

I’m new to this but not inept to this type of tech.

Thank you!
