Hello,

I have been working to troubleshoot a speed issue relating to my Deco XE5300.

Xfinity <----> XB8 <---> Deco XE5300

If I connect my laptop via ethernet directly to the XB8 when not in bridge mode and do a speed test using speedtest.net, I get in the upper 900Mbps, which is what I would expect.

With the XB8 in Bridge Mode and connecting the same laptop with the same cable to the Deco XE5300, I get about 160Mbps.

If I take the XB8 out of Bridge Mode but stay connected to the Deco XE5300, I get the same result, about 160Mbps.

The link light on the XB8 for the Deco XE5300 indicates a Gig connection, but I am getting nowhere near that when my traffic is running through the Deco.

I have seen some references to being able to change the port speed on the Deco with some special firmware; apparently, in those situations, the Deco was sending traffic faster than a gig, and the Modem was getting confused and dropping packets.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
