Great review! Was not expecting the comparison of each modem but was EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thanks!

I get 1.4Gbps DL and 46Mbps UL with the X7. Wireless to most devices in almost any room is a solid 381Mbps DL and 44Mbps UL even through many walls and RFI interference fields. Our older XB3 gateway couldn't pass all its juice wirelessly through many obstacles/walls. Our home has fiber optic ran from the hub to our access point and then from the wall to the XB7 it's COAX. Runs like a dream...

Lmfaooo love how articulate you are. And how str8 to the point you were aswell.

I've had the xb6 forever and had 3 pods as I have a dedicated home theater in the basement. My speeds are 450 down upstairs in my bedroom but began falling off drastically the further I was from the modern. I have a Roku ultra downstairs which really helped but my speeds are like 40 down with the pods. Thanks for the great info as my xb7 is on the way! I think I might unplug the pods and see what happens with this new xb7. I'm in a wheelchair and I use Google appliances for a lot of things including my nest thermostat. I am really excited about this! I also just got my Xbox series X in last week. I have it hooked up via the ethernet port so there's no problems, but it's still nice to know there are 4 ports on the back now. Thanks,buddy, and keep up the great work! Nick

Also cool thing to remember is your WiFi test on your phone is capped with the speed your phone is able to process with WiFi. So if you have a higher WiFi use of other devices the speeds will be even higher.

upgrading the router is going to do not much of anything for you if you also aren't upgrading your speeds. 50mbps is gonna be 50mbps no matter what router you have. This new router is mainly for gigabit speeds and wifi 6 functionality. If you don't have a phone or other device that supports WiFi 6 yet, then you won't notice a difference, just like you won't notice a difference if you don't have gigabit speeds, which this router is pretty much meant for.

@@REDDEADREVOLVER1 Hello, thanks for watching. I believe right now if you upgrade to the 200 or 300mbps they are currently the same price right now. However they will only send you an XB6 or XB7 if you have at least 300mbps plan or higher. You will have to ask for it specifically because they may need to manually "flip a switch" on you cable unit outside your home/apartment to enable the higher speeds higher than 200mbps. However, the rental price on the modem box XB3, XB6 or XB7 will stay the same as $14/month. You may be mistaken of the $25/month as that is if you opt in for Unlimited Data which includes the rental of the modem too. I don't need Unlimited data as the current data cap of 1.229 TB is enough for me as I average about 6oo to 800 GB a month. I hope this answers your question and helps you decide on what's best for you guys. Let me know how it goes when you do. Thanks again.

@@GReviews Thanks for the response! Yes, you’re correct on that. We are using our owner modem/router right now but haven’t been getting close to the 175 mbps. A tech came out and told us that it was the splitter. They repaired it and we’re getting only 70-80. Which isn’t good enough. We currently have 1 smart TV, 2 phones for us adults and then 2 PS4’s. But with the PS5 out now, I was talking to my wife about upgrading to make sure that we have plenty of speed. Especially for guests who come over and such. Let alone having good quality internet. So yeah, I was wanting to do the XFi complete for the Xfinity products and for it to be unlimited. The past few months we’ve averaged 1.2-1.5 TB usage. We don’t want to pay extra monthly if we can get a better product cheaper. But yeah, thanks again for your prompt response!

Does your monthly modem rental fee go up with the XB7? Xfinity just upgraded us to the Superspeed 600 MB plan but then said we would need an XB7 modem to take advantage of that speed. Currently we have the XB3. Thanks

Dont do xfi pods. They only extend the internet connection but dont give you high speed. Set xfinity gateway to bridge mode to act as a modem and invest in a good mesh router. Like nest. That will give you not only the speed youre paying for but whole home coverage. No dead spots

First off the pods ARE a mesh system that extends the network. The pods aren’t supposed to be for speed they’re advertised for rang extension. The funny thing is that I test speed on them which is around 250-300mbps. You only need a consistent 15-25mbps for most devices to run properly. And another thing, extenders or mesh routers you’re taking about never get as high as your modem. They pretty much act like a splitter and the more you have the more the speed will decrease. I’ve seen google nest speeds at 2.1mbps 😂

I too have the same xb7. Question: at $14 a month did you consider opting for a mesh solution instead or even adding a xfinity pod.

Own a modem and mesh wifi or ad a pod and bite the fee. Ugh.

@GReviews

If you're purchasing your own modem that was giving you gig speeds I would go that route save the $14 a month fee and get an extender/mesh system. Yes you would be paying close to $300 or more up front for a good gig modem and a mesh or extender but over time $14 a month plus tax adds up to be more $ in the few years. I would go with that. If you go with the XB7 you can use their pod mesh system and own it at about $119 for 3 pods and still have all the perks that come with using the xFi system and app when it comes to control when it comes to family. Also 80mb is enough for online gaming at 4K. If anything, just add an extender and hardwire it directly to the Xbox.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup Button (WPS) is a feature supplied with many routers. It is designed to make the process of connecting to a secure wireless network from a computer or other device easier and without entering a password.

I've tried 2 of the Xfi Gateway modems and they each keep dropping devices -- either my work laptop, or my own personal laptop & iphone together get dropped -- so I have to keep resetting the modem to get these devices to reconnect. This happens almost daily and sometimes several times a day. So, I'd say these modems are complete garbage. I'm going to have to look into getting my own modem because this is especially disruptive when I'm losing connection to work. I've had numerous XFinity techs come to my house to see if there is some other issue, but I can only conclude these modems are complete junk. One tech told me to just get my own modem.

You can use any port in bridge mode on the gateway. But XB7 has 2.5gbps interface which gives 1200mbps on gigabit plan if you connect slower single gigabit router it will default back to 940mbps max.

Only the port on the lower right with the red slash beside it runs at 2.5 gbs. This modem supports WiFi 6, but if you don’t have any WiFi 6 devices you won’t see a throughput increase The modem does have increased range over the previous one. Both of them have core modem capabilities of 5.2 gbps downstream and around 400 upstream IF the network was configured for it. If your service is intermittent, changing a modem will not help. If you have a shitty Sony PlayStation, they are no good on WiFi. Ever. They need a Ethernet connection. Even one from a wireless extender will work. PlayStation WiFi transceivers are garbage.

Hey Todd, I was wondering about that...Spent over an hour on the phone with them today and, even though, all over the web it says those 4 ports are gigabit, the rep I got said they could all run, get this, 10 Gb/s...So you've confirmed that just that 1 port will deliver the full 2 Gb/s and the others are 1 Gb/s?

@Todd.T

@@jeffbauman5447 The one with the red slash beside delivers 2.5 gigabit. The other three are on a 1 gig switch. Switches have about 94-96% switching efficiency, so with a proper connection to them, the highest you can get is 960mbs. Even says on the website 2.5 Gb/s is max. In pure fiber networks. The 2.5gig port is used as an input and the cable modem is shut off.

@@jeffbauman5447 Correct. The only time when you cannot use the 2.5G port is in a fiber install because it becomes an input. I don’t know where Comcast is with the fiber yet, so it might not be a option near you. Technically they are all gigabit ports, but one just has greater capability. The documentation doesn’t get too specific, but that is definitely what the ports are for and what they can do.

The xb7 has wifi 6. And he mentions the 2.5 gig speed because that’s the highest the modem can go IF provided in your speed tier that you pay for. Just like the xb6 is a gig modem.

Four months later and the XB7 is still wifi trash. Wired GB speeds are 90% up to what I pay for but the wifi speeds and range drops significantly from about 10 feet out. I have exchangedit once already with the same result and Xfinity tech support is clueless to it as well.
