Paying for 800Mbps, getting 200Mbps

Hi,

I have a 800 Mbps internet plan, and am only getting 200Mbps using a wired connection with cat6 cables. I have attempted resets of my modem and router, and it has not helped. I am using a Netgear Nighthawk CM1200 modem, which has DOCSIS 3.1 support, and have a router capable of gigabit speeds, so I should be able to reach 800Mbps. Could you assist me in this issue? Thanks!

Hello @user_6e6d98, thanks for reaching out for help with your connection. As someone that uses the internet for just about everything, I know how important it is to have a stable connection. By chance have your tried bypassing the router and connection directly into the modem to see if your speeds improve?

Hi Ryan,

That didn't seem to help, still getting about the same speed

Thanks for trying that out, @user_6e6d98. This link shows our Connection Troubleshooting Tips. Have you checked the signal levels to see if they show the problem or done any other troubleshooting steps aside from the modem and router resets?

Thanks for the info, it looks like upstream power level is slightly out of spec (~+52mV), and there are multiple T3 events. Everything other than that is in spec. Could this be caused by the coax cable?
