Improving Comcast modem signal


Our internet service is Xfinity/Comcast or Verizon. Currently I have Comcast service and use their modem because I had trouble with Netgear modem compatibility with Comcast. The problem is that the Comcast modem doesn’t allow LPS. I don’t know about the Verizon modem. So, for people with modem tweaking experience, any suggestions that will make a notable improvement?

The modem is connected via house Ethernet cable to EtherRegen in my listening room, which is connected to Lumin X1 streamer via fiber optic listening room.

Good for youse. Risk taking is what life is all about.

If they have a "range" it is not user selectable. You get whatever is on the truck. Shooting yourself is preferable to going to the "store" around here.

Taking theirs off the bill entails that. The last time I went it was locked up with the door sign stating open while I waited in the car watching too many chumps attempting entry. Go away suckers.

The last time I wanted them to send something (cheap ass TV boxes fail often) they wanted me to pay shipping. ?????

It must be cheaper to send a tech out.

@mitch2 I tried Netgear modem with my Comcast system and I could not get my internet to work. So, I had to go back to the Comcast modem. May be the gigabyte capacity of Netgear conflicted with Comcast?

Easy to use a non rented modem. Unlike fuzzytone’s experience everyone I know who has swapped rental modem out has never gone back. Maybe 10 people so just shows how a small sample size is problematic. 
 

Modem compatibility is easily verified on Comcast website or even Amazon. I currently own a Motorola MB8611 and am on Xfinity ie Comcast cable. Much easier to swap out and get working than before. All done online via their app. Oh, don’t buy a refurb as often those MAC addresses show as still in use and are a real pain to get authorized.
