Motorola SB8200: slow speed

I am on the extreme plan and testing with my laptop to the LAN of the modem.  I can not receive more than ~200-250Mbps via the Comcast speedtest/speedtest.net/etc.  I have reset the modem and rechecked all the terminations.  There is a clean signal from the street to the modem and there are no splitters in the path.  Prior to the speed upgrade to 800Mbps, I was not able to get close to the 600Mbps (~200-250Mbs).  The SB8200 is supported Comcast and I would expect around 600-750Mbps with the current tier.  Any assistance is apprenticed.  Thank you!

Hello, @user_5c4f9b! I'm sorry to hear about the slow connection speeds and I'd be more than happy to run a few diagnostics to see what's going on. Please send me a Message by clicking on the Chat Bubble icon in the upper right corner to get started!

@user_5c4f9b 

This may or may not be the root cause of the problem but it should be addressed regardless.

The upstream power is on the high side and it may be intermittently fluctuating even higher to out of spec levels. That can cause random disconnects, spontaneous re-booting of the modem, speed, packet loss, latency problems, and the un-bonding of channels.

In an effort to try to obtain better connectivity / more wiggle room, check to see if there are there any excess/unneeded coax cable splitters in the line leading to the modem that can be eliminated/re-configured. Any splitters that remain should be high quality and cable rated for 5-1000 MHz, bi-directional, and no gold colored garbage from Radio Shack, Home Depot, Target, etc. Splitters should be swapped with known to be good / new ones to test.

Also check the coax cable for any damage such as cuts, nicks, kinks, sharp bends, etc.

If there aren't any unneeded splitters that can be eliminated and if your coax wiring setup can't be reconfigured so that there is a single two-way splitter connected directly off of the drop from the street / pole with one port feeding the modem and the other port feeding the rest of the house/equipment with additional splits as needed and you've checked all the wiring and fittings for integrity and tightness and refresh them by taking them apart then check for and clean off any corrosion / oxidation on the center wire and put them back together again, then perhaps it's best to book a tech visit to investigate and correct.


Good luck with it !
