Improving Comcast modem signal


Our internet service is Xfinity/Comcast or Verizon. Currently I have Comcast service and use their modem because I had trouble with Netgear modem compatibility with Comcast. The problem is that the Comcast modem doesn’t allow LPS. I don’t know about the Verizon modem. So, for people with modem tweaking experience, any suggestions that will make a notable improvement?

The modem is connected via house Ethernet cable to EtherRegen in my listening room, which is connected to Lumin X1 streamer via fiber optic listening room.

I just replaced my Comcast provided modem with a Netgear CV1000, which is a docsis 3.1 model. I'm continuing to use my own separate Netgear router. Connected to the latter with Supra Ethernet cable is a Google mesh network with a total of 3 access points. 

Before swapping out the Comcast unit, I checked the speed: 290 Mbps (I pay for 300). After replacement with the Netgear unit, my speed is 90 Mbps. Still fast enough for 4k streaming, but certainly a lot slower than it was. Funny thing is, my signal strength is very good, somewhat better than before. I had to have Comcast CS assist with getting the new modem online, ran into a hard stop with their app. Wondering if another call to them could improve my speed...
