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 am a Comcast Xfinity user as well. I did not know it is an option to substitute out their suppied cable modem and wifi router. I would love to get rid of that thing and not pay the monthly fee. The wifi is weak on that unit, and they told me I have theoir best one.  I often have to reset it, unplug and replug, at high traffic times.

I'm also a Comcast/Xfinity user and use their modem. Every 18-24 months I get their latest and fastest modem. Over the years it has become very easy to update one, the newest ones even update all your passwords on your smart devices like thermostats and TV's. In the old days you would have to go to each device and reenter the WIFI network and password. Also use their "POD" with the Ethernet connections for streaming via my Bricasti M12. Simple and reliable and no dropouts. 

LPS = Linear Power Supply

GL eliminator. = Ground Loop eliminator. 12.00 dollars US.

skso, you have any problem with noise and the power supply to your Comcast modem? Everyone I get I have to tinker with to get rid of the GL issues.

Mine are quiet as a mouse now. I put a brick on mine too with a dampening mat between them too.

"Shooting yourself is preferable to going to the "store" around here." Where on earth do you live? I use to visit El Pueblo in Pittsburg CA. One way in and no way out if you got in trouble.. I'm a blue eyed Anglo! I never had a problem.

Same when I use to work the fields with the locals cutting asparagus, dabbing corn, hoeing tomatoes, picking cherries, cotts and the packing sheds. Late 60s I got along because I worked and paid attention. I kept my mouth shut. I still carry a straight razor.

As for guns they just don't scare me, never have. I do respect them.  A pickup truck is a lot more convincing. I've chased a few through the city park.. My dog loves it..

Pickup truck and a Mauri War Club.. I put on Gaelic War paint there can be a problem.. "fag un benlach" Clear the way.

You sound a bit frustrated with the local service. I assume Comcast is no longer on your Christmas card list!
