Improving Comcast modem signal

@chungjh 

That may actually be your best option.

I understand where you are coming from. Regardless, in most enterprise level (and hi end) home routers and switches, CPU speed does not matter that much. CPU maintains the ’control plane’ and programs the specialized switching hardware. Once that is done, CPU is not even involved in the switching. İt gets out of the way and lets the hw do the packet forwarding. So the CPU speed by itself is not that significant.

The speed limits you are experiencing are 99% of the time, the limitations of your service provider and not due to your home router. İt is extremely unlikely that your PC will saturate a hi end home router, especially if you are using a wired connection  

I had a 600 mbit residential service which i upgraded to a 200 mbit business service and i now get much better performance. It had nothing to do with my home router but all due to the change in service by Comcast.

Guys, I have read most of the posts on this thread and I can relate to many of the problems that have been mentioned.  In a short phrase:  COMCAST SUCKS.  And in my case there is no alternative, AND they know it.

The only reason to put this out is to suggest that only government action can change a company like comcast. They have no real competition in many areas, they are arrogant, they do not care how difficult it is to even ask them a question or report a problem. The service and equipment that I used to get with comcast was better five years ago than it is now and the cost is higher. To top it off, every service company is hiding behind COVID as an excuse for poor customer relations. In most cases only the owner of a new home with FO to the house has a chance of improved service; the rest of us are SOL with GOV help.

Have you guys with bad internet looked into Starlink? It's Elon Musk's company.

Starlink is one of the solutions to address the current monopoly of ISPs. But the wait for gear and service is at least a year.
