Can you direct steam to use a different server and see if yours is just maybe busy with a lot of activities? Its under settings, pick the server/city you think is the second closest to you and see what happens, ordinarily it would be slower or the same speed, if its faster, you may just be in...

No the moca devices should control the band [usually a software setting of switch on the device] but you do need a filter that covers that band typically in a "I use comcast,/charter/rogers environment" they run up to 1ghz or plan to, so you use the D band which is like 1002 Mhz and above them...

There are a varierty of things in moca you need to know like which band are you using, do you use the coax for your isp to provide i ternet and which band are you required to avoid their signals (even if you are not using them 2 waves at the same frequency = bad for both of you), you need to...

Something sounds off. You feed the wall [one port] with an ethernet cable from a router and it then feeds multiple devices in other rooms and none of them work, correct? This sounds like you have a switch in another location that needs to be checked maybe a smart panel that likley had a GFC...

So XB7 either means Xfinity or rogers, least I have not seen that term elsewhere. Pretty sure rogers just buys xfinity designed modems and uses them, so first thing first - ping [I don;t care what ping tool you use] both an external server and at the same time 10.0.0.1 until the problem...

Not every hop, has to respond, every time, as they kind of have more important tasks to do than respond to ICMP packets like route REAL interent traffic. Just a FYI. If you have no more problems I would cancel the appointment or chance the risk of being charged for customer education when there...

Unless you have fiber your running radio waves over metal [copper unless you paid a lot for silver wires they do exist they don't really do anything you need]. When temps change like the sun stops blaring down on the black wires, the metal moves [contracts] old fittings poorly installed pieces...

If you are paying for 1GB or higher service and you want that speed to come though yes, otherwise I would need to know how many channels your D3 modem can bond to and what speed you pay for. You can pretty much google Comcast approved modems and see if you meet the needs of your package, if not...

1. Google says How do I check my Comcast modem signal strength? Using the Xfinity app (available to download on Apple App Store or Google Play), select Connect. Look for the Test your Internet tile. Select Run a test. You can also select your network on Connect, then select Internet Health...

Why do you want the asus to have full control? What are you doing with it, the ISP router cannot? Because putting the asus in access point mode solves your ethernet issues, but turns it into a mindless switch with wifi and leaves the ISP device as the controlling ROUTER. Otherwise buy 2nd long...

So you have your own modem currently? What makes you think its bad? What is your speed test showing? If only twitch is having a problem maybe its outside your house? As to recommended modem I recommend the SB8200 or any modem with a broadcomm chipset and NOT intel because for 3 PUMA generations...

Ping 10.0.0.1 and see if you are losing the packets to the modem , if so the problem is between the device and the new gateway, if not you may have not tightened the fittings correctly. I tell my customers to use a pair of pliers, hold then at 3'oclock and let them fall to 6 o clock, and repeat...

So one windows computer got corrupted and the other did not. Get a boot unix device [cd/thumb drive, google can find it easily and it takes 30 minutes]. He is right the chances of 2 pieces of hardware having the exact same hardware flaw is like winning the lottery. It happens, but not to me.

I get the distinctive feeling a laptop with only 2.4 Ghz wireless is not a gigabit capable computer, maybe I am wrong.
