My latest: Xfinity tech support home visit was not impressed with the revelation from Arris stating that the power level indicated in the post #11 of 51dBmV wasn't important. He advised that my 1 year old Arris didn't have the broad wifi capability of newer models. He was able to increase my speed by piggy backing my older router with my current equipment and was able to increase my internet speed, but not the speed I expected. Direct connection to the modem/router gave incredible speeds of around 650, but couldn't come close with wifi. I'm getting better speeds now, but not what I expected. I hope to upgrade my modem/router in the near future, hoping to get the the wifi speed I expect.



The tech suggested that I could get plug in router extenders, 3 for about $100.
