I have my XB7 bridged to an ORBI and, on the hardwired side, am getting about 940 mbps down and 41 mbps up.  It was not always like that.  I was plagued with poor wired download speeds until I ran TCPOptimizer (a free program) on my hardwired Windows 10 desktop.   If you are having speed issues, try running your speed tests in Safe Mode with Networking.  If they are still poor, then Comcast has work to do.  If your wired speed increases to the correct range, however, download and run TCPOptimizer.  Make sure to save your original TCP/IP settings first, in case things go sideways.   I still cannot access the XB7's GUI while it's in bridge mode.  My password (which is correctly input) is consistently denied.  I hope Comcast fixes that issue.  But, at least I am getting gigabit speed on the wired side.     ...

If you have Windows 10, trying safe mode in Windows 10 with Networking.  If that gives you full gigabit speeds, download TCP Optimizer, a free program.  Run it as an administrator, save you current settings, optimize, and reboot.  I ended up with consistent full gigabit speed internet.  You might too. ...

I've noticed the same issue with the XB7.  The below article might explain it: https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/why-comcast%E2%80%99s-new-wi-fi-6-router-fails-i-spent-three-days-testing-it-121796.  Hopefully, as the article suggests, it's a firmware issue that will be resolved.   I can't, however,  recommend another cable modem with voice.  I tried the Arris TM25 and the Netgear CM1150v modems.  They would work for a time, slow down, lose connection, work for a time, slow down, then lose connection.  Those modems are both supposed to work with Xfinity's gigabit tier, and they probably do in most locations, not mine.  I had techs come and go 4 or 5 times with giving me stable internet until they installed the XB7.  It may be inconsistent, but it stays connected.   Unless you were able to get another cable modem to work for you, keep fighting to get full gigabit speed.  If you have fixed the problem, or fix it in the future, let me know.  I  fight for full speed after I have recovered from my eventually successful efforts to finally get stable internet.   ...

Yes!! Mine’s working correctly again. Knowing xfinity, however, they will probably “fix” it later so it works incorrectly. ... View more

Useful if you remember to do that before entering your call and using hands-free dialing. That is, not very useful. ... View more

I finally spoke to someone at advanced service who seemed to know something. He said that xfinity made a network-wide change that removed the ability to call your home phone from the number to which the home phone forwards the call. He wasn’t sure why the change was made. Possibly because they could not understand why anyone would call their home phone from their mobile phone. He said that several others had complained since the change was made and that he would bring up the matter at the next meeting. So, keep letting xfinity know you are unhappy and maybe we will see an improvement eventually. ... View more

I spoke to soon. The problem returned. ... View more

I only have one xfinity account. My home phone xfinity, my cell is Verizon. I’m not sure how you would set up call forwarding for two accounts. If you want each to ring the other, then I guess you set up both accounts correspondingly if want calls to either to ring both. A bit more complex than my setup, however, so I can’t say what will happen. ... View more

Fixed the problem. Not sure why the problem arose without me changing anything, but the fix is to make sure you have voice to go enabled. Then, set calls to your home number to be forwarded to voice to go AND to your hom. I have no idea why my wife doesn’t have to do that when she uses advanced call forwarding, but anything that works is a victory. ... View more

Fixed the problem. Not sure why the problem arose without me changing anything, but the fix is to make sure you have voice to go enabled. Then, at the xfinity website on your computer, go to your call forwarding settings and place a check mark on xfinity connect mobile app, your home phone, and any number you want your calls forwarded to. You CANNOT do this from your xfinity connect app AFAIK. You must use the xfinity website. I have no idea why my wife doesn’t have to do all that when she uses advanced call forwarding, but anything that works is a victory. ... View more

I cannot select simultaneous ring for my cell. I can add that the same problem occurs when I call using xfinity connect app, but that may be normal ... View more

The problem only happens witness I call from my mobile number. If I activate simultaneous call forwarding to my wife’s mobile number and she calls the home number, all goes well. I have Verizon . This is NOT Verizon’s problem. It’ s xfinity’s service and their problem when things go wrong with it. Don’t let them off the hook ... View more

Actually, simultaneous ring is supposed to allow you to call your home phone from the mobile phone you forward your home phone calls to.  It used to work like that.  Now, I have the same problem as you.  I've called Xfinity, who admit that I should not need to turn off call forwarding, but have no clue what to do.  Please be persistant. The more people complain, the more likely they will fix the problem and we can all enjoy the benifits of simultaneous ring.  ... View more
