Hi thanks good review about the modems but The speed of modems is usually measured in megabits per second (Mbit/s), not megabytes per second (MB/s). One megabit is equal to 0.125 megabytes, so to convert from Mbit/s to MB/s, you need to divide by 8. For example, a modem with a speed of 100 Mbit/s can transfer 12.5 MB of data per second.
Have to get new modem/router combo fast as I work from home. After researching it looks like the Netgear CAX 80 is the best for XFinity customers-Would you agree?
I am only using this for some streaming services like HULU AND FIRESTICK. I have a 600gb plan and was recently told that my current modem is not pushing my plans speed. I just want a basic one that will work on my wireless devices.
My parents go through Xfinity, not sure what modem and router we have but I know they are both older than 7 years, currently we get 80 download and 5 upload and it freaking sucks.
So I have the 1200 plan, I have my PC connected via Ethernet. I want that one too always have access to the lightning quick speeds, but I want as much range as possible even if at lower speeds. I want the signal to reach into a detached garage. Can I plug the PC directly into a modem and cheap out on the router?
Hey Titan. Yes, you could do that, but instead of connecting the PC to the modem, you should connect it with Ethernet to the router. Then you should be able to get a cheaper router and still get Wi-Fi in most of your home (depending on how big it is).

@@slimatmim The modem paired with my router has been working fine however my internet speed goes down with time. I normally reboot the modem and router which resolves the speed issue instantly . As such I have not faced any issue with the modem yet.
@@kpsher367 Are you describing an issue with the new modem, or the old one? You said it paired with your router, however. you have to occasionally reboot, but then you said no issues. Personally, I've had modems for YEARS that I never have to reboot, so that sounds like an issue to me. So again, was it necessary to reboot the old modem or the new one?
Saying megabyte instead of megabit, i wonder why people think their internet is slower than it is... all of these numbers needed devided by 8 for the average person to understand what it is in real world speeds.
I have currently the x1 XFI advanced gateway modem/router. My plan has 800mb/s. I have a 2 samsung TVs that ru n wifi from it with one being about 40-50feet while the other 5 feet away. Whats the best compatible modem/router would you recommend without nreaking bank.
I don't know. Way to many stories about how your download is is far less then what you were getting. So last week tried 2 different modems. First looked into these modems and the stories on Xfinity and others places. I did notice those that were having problems with down and up not being the same were told its at your end you seem to have a leak so to speak. Sounded true to me lol. So I get 1200d 200u. More like 950d 230u. So I get a Motorola 8611 and activate fast and got 700d 5u. Well after switching back and forth and then calling I was told everything at Xfinitys end shows I am getting 1200d 200u and seems I have a leak at my house. So a tech was going to come out. I thought it must be the new modem so send it back and get Netgear nighthawk cm2000. Activated it and 700d 5up hmm what are the odds two different modems yet both with the same exact speed. What happens when I reactivate the XB8? 950d 230u. This was going back and forth with both. .,. made me wonder what happen to the leak? Then I get the same response others got? The last person I talked to at Xfinity granted they are not tech did say "it dose seem there is some kind of cap going on". When logging in to the modem the locked download (long number) was always about 700*************hz. Netgear people had no clue why this was happening. I could be wrong.. maybe the XB8 is so good at bypassing those "leaks" where as no other modem can do that. Its the going right back to XB8 and you get normal speeds.

I can barely understand your accent dude. Speak slower because your thick german accent makes us Americans difficult to understand what you are saying. And it’s even harder for us Americans who English is not their first language (hispanics). So please, speak slower and try to pronounce better every single word.
Awesome video man! Hoping to see more videos from you soon. 👍🏻

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE GREAT INFO !!!
good info, audio is not so good
Slow it down to 0.75 speed, much easier to understand.
nah I watch it on 0.5 x speed@@thereplacementfordisplacement

Info is very useful for planning house setups
Thanks a lot, all the info I wanted/needed in an easy and efficient method!
Nice attention to detail
Thank you so much my guy
ty appreciate your knowledge
My pleasure David!
thank you

Am I understanding correctly that neither of these devices will give you upload speed more than 35 Mbit (on 2Gbit plan) due to Xfinity limitation?
thats a xfinity thing thou... they limit upload very strictly... where i live same 1gig plan xfinity only have ~30mbps and verizon is ~300mbps upload
@@kyroh4579 Really? that makes sense tbh. We have Xfinity, not sure what moden and router but currently we are getting 80d 5u. absolutely awful.

'attempting' to set up new modem moto docsis 3.1 cable mo. MB8611 w/mac comp.
how did that go
i dont know about future proofing modems as they don't last forever, after 3 years you probably want to upgrade anyway.
This is a great point. People think that you supposed to keep modems and routers for 6-7 years. No
Will I still have access to the same gui and app?

What do you mean the one modem/router you mentioned is free for anybody with Xfinity plan?
No, consider it more like a 3rd party router.
They give you a gateway modem router combo and 12 months free as a promo for new customers.
I understood you fine, don’t listen to the losers
What do I buy do t know
What does that mean?

Isn't that router overkill for just 1 dude? I game online but not with 3 other people at my house lol
10 Gb is enough for a whole freaking factory to use. Ain’t no one taking advantage of that unless ur a movie/game downloading maniac
Thanks, but hard to understand all that you are saying. Try using text-to-speech.
Can you suggest a docsis 3.1 for under $100 us?
There no docsid 3.1 modem under 100 yet
Motorolla sucks for reference of personal experience. Use net gear instead.
I used the Netgear Nighthawk C7800 and it only lasted for 3 years (2021-2024). My previous Motorola lasted from (2012-2021).

@@froman1960 Lol great "point"..
if you don't use their modem you can't get unlimited data
If I didn't knw it I still dnt cause all I can do is look at and admire ur handsomeness throughout the whole video... ❤
C7800 is trash with 1gb internet
Netgear Nighthawk C7800 only lasted 3 years (2021-2024). I agree it is trash. My previous Motorola lasted 9 years (2012-2021).
U cute💘🤩🥰😘
Your voice is hard to understand

who can understand him? I can't.
Man what language do you speak you sound like an echo , put caption let us understand
VERY hard to understand you. You swallow your speech, use a cadence meant for another language, are poorly miked, and no subtitles.
Comcast is a terrible company to do business with, very bad service and outages
Too bad they have a monopoly and most people have no choice but to go with them

he speaks perfectly, literally your comment is more unreadable than his speaking is bad
