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.

I just replaced my Comcast provided modem with a Netgear CV1000, which is a docsis 3.1 model. I'm continuing to use my own separate Netgear router. Connected to the latter with Supra Ethernet cable is a Google mesh network with a total of 3 access points. 

Before swapping out the Comcast unit, I checked the speed: 290 Mbps (I pay for 300). After replacement with the Netgear unit, my speed is 90 Mbps. Still fast enough for 4k streaming, but certainly a lot slower than it was. Funny thing is, my signal strength is very good, somewhat better than before. I had to have Comcast CS assist with getting the new modem online, ran into a hard stop with their app. Wondering if another call to them could improve my speed...

 

Anybody come up with an LPS for the latest Xfinity cable modem? I bought an iFI DC purifier but it did not have proper adapters with it. Would really like to try a LPS if anybody knows of a fit. 
thanks

I will say this 5 years ago I purchases a wireless gateway from Motorola and it's worked just fine and still does. Looking back at that point at 15 years of rental fees it was the only choice to make.

I hear ya. It just works and I am tech challenged. I will try a decent 12 v LPS and see if I get a nice bump
