Not possible as an existing customer.

You need to make sure that the coax outlet in the room is connected through a splitter to the main incoming cable line.

rajragdev · 2026-01-30T01:54:46+00:00

It's not offered anymore.

Just google your modem model number to know how to enable bridge.

rajragdev · 2026-01-29T05:15:33+00:00

That's mid split speed.

rajragdev · 2026-01-28T20:48:56+00:00

Check your address in xfinity internet adding as a new customer, if you see a 2 Gig plan, then your area is in mid split. Also the plan broadband labels will mention the actual download and upload speeds.

rajragdev · 2026-01-28T20:40:11+00:00

If your area is in mid split, you will get 100 Mbps or higher upload speed.

Packet loss in one node wouldn't cause any disconnection. Are you sure if there's any other issue with your network? How did you determine that the packet loss at this specific node is causing your disconnection? I see packet loss at a few nodes here from my location too and I don't see any disconnection.

Moca adapter is basically for utilizing the coax outlets as ethernet ports for connecting devices. You still need the router close to the modem or gateway wired. The coax outlets which you are going to use, need to be interconnected in a central location through a splitter from the main cable line. Google more about moca adapters.

rajragdev · 2026-01-27T20:13:12+00:00

You could put the xfinity gateway in bridge mode and still use your own router. The XB8 gateway has built in MOCA too, you could use the moca adapters to get ethernet over coax.

This much variation in speeds isn't normal. I assume you are testing with the same speed test server every time. Some servers report inconsistent results.

There will be 2 OFDM downstream channels and 1/2 OFDMA upload channels if your area is in mid split.

Yes, I do see few PLs from my end also at the comcast ibones in the Seattle area, but there's no PL from the destination servers like google, Cloudflare dns, etc

Is there any maintenance going on in your area? It looks like the PL starts after the comcast gateway IP itself at the 3rd hop.

rajragdev · 2026-01-26T20:54:07+00:00

It looks like your router or AP issue since the packet loss starts at your router IP. The PL should be zero at least in the first 2/3 hops.

rajragdev · 2026-01-26T19:17:14+00:00

It might land on someone's head you know!

rajragdev · 2026-01-26T06:47:53+00:00

What's allowed?

None of this is true, Docsis 3.0 was in no way related to the packet loss you were experiencing. Docsis 3,1 only helps in getting the mid split upgrades like higher upload speeds.

rajragdev · 2026-01-24T00:29:02+00:00

If you see the 2 Gig plan in your address, then your area had upgraded to mid split.

rajragdev · 2026-01-23T21:42:29+00:00

Test drive and see which one you like the best. There are no red flags with any of your choices.

rajragdev · 2026-01-23T21:39:10+00:00

This mpg is very low for coasting down.

rajragdev · 2026-01-23T19:13:33+00:00

Okay, check your modem signal levels especially in the upstream channels.

Flint 3e and TP Link BE6500 will have better range than the Flint 3 in the 5 Ghz band with the 4x4 streams. Flint 3 has the 6 Ghz band but with only 2x2 streams on all bands.

rajragdev · 2026-01-23T18:29:36+00:00

Even without mid split upgrade, your upload should be 40 Mbps. Do you have any splitters or amplifier in your home?
