New Modem/Router?

[Nycz]

I have comcast xfinity here in the USA and use the modem/router that it comes with and have it wired to my PC. Just me using it since in an apartment. Does anyone else use the comcast modem/router and experience CIs in games?

i have the gig plan but get on average 1260 down. i have heard before that sometimes the faster speeds not on fiber like mine can have more issues unlike the slower speeds.

[KaptCrunch]

does your nic  suport those  speeds, look at the config of network interface card/chip.

IPv4 or IPv6 protocal set ? 

also check firmware of modem  is up to date

Comcast the upload sucks...

[Nycz]

i get 40 upload. i wish i could get the same up as down like some people do but i dont know how they get that.

Nycz  check your ISP  IP's address that are close to you,  first took at NIC IP address  or have tried ipconfig or tracert command in DOS then you see where is coming from

[Nycz]

the xfinity gateway modems auto update firmware in middle of the night. i think its iPv6

[KaptCrunch]

look at their modem dashboard to see settings

[Nycz]

xfinity has most of it all adjustable through their app which isnt much

Comcast/consumer routers are typically simplistic in configurations. Not much you can do wrong, lol. Basically plug-n-play.

I would suspect that your cable signal levels are off somehow. On either upstream and/or downstream too high or too low power levels can have adverse effects on your connection quality. You may be able to get speed, but have issues with stability or packet loss. This is something I have dealt with in the past. 

If you're able, take a screenshot of your modem's cable signal levels and post here. Should look similar to the attached image.

Should be able to access the admin web page by navigating to "http://<your gateway address>" (ex: http://192.168.1.1 ). user/password will be on the modem's info label (same place as your default wi-fi password).

On that note, you would need to refresh the display of your signal levels periodically to get a better picture of them changing since it's only a snapshot of "right now". For example, during peak periods they may be too low and you need an amp. Or during peak periods they are normal, but off-peak they are too high. For that you would just have to add a splitter to attenuate the signal a little bit.
