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.

@chungjh iFi has product that fits between a power supply and component: DC iPurifier2. Site says that it supports "5-24v DC (up to 3.5A, 84W)." I might try it for myself. It's already pretty affordable by HiFi standards, but if you don't like the results when using it with your router, you can always place it on another component where it has a greater benefit. I'm considering trying it for myself. iFi even advertises using it with a low noise power supply. Might be worth a shot

I understand where you are coming from. Regardless, in most enterprise level (and hi end) home routers and switches, CPU speed does not matter that much. CPU maintains the ’control plane’ and programs the specialized switching hardware. Once that is done, CPU is not even involved in the switching. İt gets out of the way and lets the hw do the packet forwarding. So the CPU speed by itself is not that significant. The speed limits you are experiencing are 99% of the time, the limitations of your service provider and not due to your home router. İt is extremely unlikely that your PC will saturate a hi end home router, especially if you are using a wired connection I had a 600 mbit residential service which i upgraded to a 200 mbit business service and i now get much better performance. It had nothing to do with my home router but all due to the change in service by Comcast. |
