The more devices you have plugged in and using your internet, the slower it will be. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to avoid interference from electromagnetic devices and other routers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This includes things like microwaves, Bluetooth devices, dimmer switches, power strips with a smart plug, and anything else that emits energy at a certain frequency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can find a way to move these items away from your cables or router \u2013 either by moving them somewhere else or simply unplugging them \u2013 then you should notice an improvement in the speed of your Xfinity service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Relocate_Your_Gateway\"><\/span>2. <strong>Relocate Your Gateway<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For the best WiFi, you want to place your gateway as close to the center of your house as possible. If your gateway is in one room and you\u2019re looking for a stronger signal in another, move it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Turn_on_Xfinity_internet_optimization\"><\/span>3. <strong>Turn on Xfinity internet optimization<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Xfinity internet is fast and all, but you can make it even faster by turning on Xfinity internet optimization. This will compress data that has already been downloaded so it loads faster. When you turn on this setting, your broadband connection will use less bandwidth to download content, which means you\u2019ll be able to browse the web and download apps faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Check_your_modemrouter_and_restart_if_there_is_a_connection_challenge\"><\/span>4. <strong>Check your modem\/router and restart if there is a connection challenge<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you should do is make sure your modem and router are connected to one another. Make sure that the power light on the modem comes on when you plug it in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s a connection issue, you might need to restart your modem or router. If you have Comcast cable, try unplugging your modem for a few seconds and then plugging it back in. If you have an Xfinity wireless gateway, unplug the power cord from the back of your gateway and wait 10 seconds before plugging it back in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may take a few minutes for your internet to come back on after either of these steps. Once it does, make sure to test it to see if this solved the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Regularly_Restart_Your_Equipment\"><\/span><strong>Regularly Restart Your Equipment<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the easiest things you can do is reboot your router and modem. Just remember to wait a few minutes before starting anything because it\u2019s best if the system is completely booted up. This will keep everything running smoothly, as well as make sure that there are no interruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Make_sure_your_device_is_connected_to_the_internet\"><\/span>5. <strong>Make sure your device is connected to the internet<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re trying to connect to the internet, your device has to be connected. If your device is not connected, it can\u2019t use the internet to load anything, because there is no connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your device is turned off, or if you have an old cordless phone plugged into one of your router&#8217;s ports, then the router won&#8217;t be able to reach that cordless phone and take care of any requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More often than not, this means that the Xfinity Blast speed won&#8217;t work as well. The best way to make sure this doesn&#8217;t happen is by unplugging all devices from the router so that only one device can use it at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/abodeinternet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image-60-1024x615.png\" alt=\"What internet speed plan is good for streaming?

This will allow you to continually monitor the speeds of both your home Wi-Fi and cellular data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A speed test app is important because it will tell you if there are any problems with your Wi-Fi or cellular connection. If there are problems, the app will show you exactly how long it takes for a certain type of data to download.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_your_speed\"><\/span><strong>Check your speed<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you should do to make your Xfinity internet faster is check your speed. There are a number of free speed-test apps on the market that will quickly test your download and upload speeds. If you\u2019re not satisfied with the speed, then it\u2019s time to make adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Test_to_see_if_your_bandwidth_is_being_limited\"><\/span><strong>Test to see if your bandwidth is being limited<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to make Xfinity internet faster is by running a simple bandwidth test. This will help you identify if your bandwidth is being limited and what applications are using it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All you have to do is open an app, like SpeedTest.net, for a few minutes and wait for the results to show up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quickest way to make Xfinity internet faster is by identifying which apps are slowing down your connection and then uninstalling them or turning them off when they\u2019re not in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find_what_speed_youre_paying_for\"><\/span><strong>Find what speed you&#8217;re paying for<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you can do to make Xfinity internet faster is to find out what speed your plan is. This will give you some insight into what you\u2019re paying for, as well as helping you know how fast your connection should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re getting less than what you paid for, it might be time to call customer service or go see a technician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Checking your speed each month is also a good idea, because sometimes there are repairs or maintenance being done on the network that could slow down your speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Use_a_wired_connection_if_possible\"><\/span>7. <strong>Use a wired connection if possible<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/abodeinternet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image-27-1024x603.png\" alt=\"How to self install Xfinity internet\" class=\"wp-image-11974\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first and easiest way to make your internet faster is to use a wired, rather than a wireless connection. Wireless connections use radio waves to transmit information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that the speed of your internet will be highly dependent on the amount of interference in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wired connections, on the other hand, use cables and is more stable for transmitting data. If you can, it\u2019s best to connect your computer to an Ethernet cable as opposed to connecting wirelessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Connect_High-Bandwidth_Devices_via_Ethernet\"><\/span><strong>Connect High-Bandwidth Devices via Ethernet<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The first way to make Xfinity internet faster is to connect high-bandwidth devices via Ethernet. By connecting your gaming consoles, streaming set-top boxes, and smart TVs to your home network via Ethernet rather than Wi-Fi, you can avoid the interference that comes with having multiple devices on the same Wi-Fi network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means these devices will be able to access your internet connection faster. You can also connect your printer, desktop, and laptop by using an Ethernet cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Use_a_Single_WiFi_Name_for_Your_Xfinity_Home_Network\"><\/span>8. <strong>Use a Single WiFi Name for Your Xfinity Home Network<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have more than one Xfinity devices connected to your wireless network at home, it can be difficult to remember which device is logged in or what network they are on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can lead to frustrating moments when devices appear to be offline even though they\u2019re not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you can do is use a single WiFi name for your Xfinity Home Network. Once you create the same WiFi name, all of your Xfinity Home devices will connect automatically and with just one click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Confirm_Your_WiFi_Network\"><\/span><strong>Confirm Your WiFi Network<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you should do is confirm that your WiFi network is setup correctly. Sometimes WiFi will work fine on one device but not another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your WiFi network is not set up correctly, it could be the reason why some internet devices are having trouble or are slower than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Set_up_router_settings\"><\/span>9. <strong>Set up router settings<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every router has different settings, but typically you can find a setting called MTU. (It\u2019s usually called MTU in the user manual.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MTU is the Maximum Transmission Unit, and it tells your network how big of a packet to send out to other networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can adjust this number depending on your preferences, but typically the default is 1480. If you need to make Xfinity internet faster, try changing this number to something lower, like 1410 or 1390.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Change_your_wireless_network_settings\"><\/span>10. <strong>Change your wireless network settings<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the easiest things you can do to make Xfinity internet faster is change your wireless network settings. By switching one setting, you\u2019ll improve your wireless speed by up to 10 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an iPhone, you\u2019re in luck because this change is easy to implement. Simply go into your settings and choose \u201cWi-Fi\u201d near the bottom and then toggle on \u201cAsk to Join Networks\u201d. The next time you are at a public place like a coffee shop with free Wi-Fi, your phone will automatically ask if you would like to join and use their network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, this doesn\u2019t work for those who only have Xfinity as their Internet provider but it does work for many others. It sounds like this would be an easy fix for the issue of slow Wi-Fi at home or at work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Move_Closer_to_Your_Gateway\"><\/span>11. <strong>Move Closer to Your Gateway<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you live in an area with a lot of people and you\u2019re far away from your gateway, your internet can slow down. The farther you are from the gateway, the more it has to travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more time it takes for packets of information to reach their destination, the slower your internet will be. To make Xfinity faster, move closer to your gateway &#8211; and put in a request for Comcast to install a new one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Ensure_there_is_a_clear_path_of_connection_between_your_devices_and_the_gateway\"><\/span>12. <strong>Ensure there is a clear path of connection between your devices and the gateway<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common way people make their Xfinity internet slower is by not having a clear path of connection between their devices and the gateway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means if your Wi-Fi router is in the basement, but you are trying to stream Netflix on your TV in the living room, that could cause lag. To ensure a clear and fast connection, place your devices as close to the router as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Try_Our_Internet_Troubleshooting_Tool\"><\/span>13. <strong>Try Our Internet Troubleshooting Tool<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve been having trouble with your Xfinity internet speeds and you\u2019re not sure what to do, try our speed troubleshooting tool.

Xfinity\u2019s gigabit internet is fast, affordable, and readily available in many areas. If you live in an area with fiber optic cable, you\u2019re in luck. Xfinity offers fiber-optic service in many areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If fiber-optic service is not available in your area, you can also get Xfinity gigabit service through cable internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have cable internet, you can get your Xfinity gigabit service by ordering an upgrade from your cable internet provider. You should contact your provider to see if you qualify for an upgrade.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xfinity-branded internet service is available in most parts of the United States. It is provided by Comcast, the largest internet service provider in the country. Xfinity is a part of Comcast\u2019s Xfinity brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xfinity internet service offers download speeds up to 2000 Mbps. This package is also a 1 or 2Gbps fiber service called GigaPower. The minimum requirement to subscribe to Xfinity internet is a standard home. If you&#8217;re having trouble accessing Xfinity internet from your current service, here are some other things you can check: If you&#8217;re still having trouble, ask your provider for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_fastest_Xfinity_internet_speed\"><\/span><strong>What is the fastest Xfinity internet speed?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2000 Mbps comparable only to Google fiber<\/strong>. The Xfinity internet Blast is one of the fastest packages available. From uploading to downloading and everything in between, the speed is unmatched. But there\u2019s always room for improvement. To make your data as fast as possible, you can download a simple app to test your current internet speeds. You want to make sure that you\u2019re getting the fastest speeds possible, so this is an excellent way to stay on top of any changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xfinity.com\/support\/articles\/improve-your-wireless-home-network\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">optimize your Xfinity internet<\/a> is by changing your router settings. The default settings on many routers might not be the best for all users, so it makes sense to optimize them. You might find that by optimizing your router settings you\u2019ll be able to get even faster speeds and better performance in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a few simple steps, you can make sure that your Xfinity internet is always lightning fast regardless of what device or application you\u2019re using it with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_You_Bypass_ISP_Throttling\"><\/span><strong>How Do You Bypass ISP Throttling?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the simplest ways to bypass ISP throttling is to use a VPN. VPNs mask your identity and location, so ISPs can\u2019t throttle your connection based on your IP address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to make sure that you\u2019re always getting the fastest speeds available, you may want to consider changing your ISP provider. Look into other providers like Verizon or Spectrum, who don\u2019t throttle connections when it comes to data plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also increase your data plan if you have an Xfinity internet Blast. That way, even when you exceed the allotted data plan, it won&#8217;t affect how fast your connections are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, if all else fails and you don&#8217;t have any luck with these solutions, contact customer service! They can help you more specifically with what&#8217;s going on with your connection and explain some of these steps in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Words\"><\/span><strong>Final Words<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Xfinity internet is already lightning fast. But the way you use your devices will make a difference in how fast your internet is. You can make your internet even faster by installing a speed-test app, changing your router settings, or even just removing some files from Dropbox that are taking up space on your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for ways to make Xfinity faster, there are plenty of options out there:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Install a speed-test app: One of the first things you should do is install a speed-test app like SpeedTest.net or Ookla SpeedTest App on your phone or computer to see what your current speeds are and if they\u2019re fast enough for you (they probably will be).<\/li><li>Change router settings: Changing your router settings is another way to make your Xfinity internet Blast speeds faster.

To start, you can install an app on your phone or computer to test the speeds of your internet.<br \/>This will show you if there are any issues that need to be addressed, like low signal strength or too many devices using WiFi at once. You can also check with Comcast to see if they have any specials running for limited time periods that might help speed your internet up. And finally, changing your router settings could help as well.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1649086892782\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_Comcast_throttling_me\"><\/span>Why is Comcast throttling me?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>There are a few reasons why Comcast might be throttling your internet. Not all of them are in your control. It could be because the network is congested, which means that the number of people using the service at one time has exceeded the capacity that&#8217;s available to provide the service. This can happen for a number of reasons, including natural disasters or events that cause people to change their behavior because they&#8217;re scared. Network congestion is most common during peak hours, like Fridays and Mondays around 8pm-11pm. There may also be a paid prioritization issue if you are accessing forbidden websites or services. If it&#8217;s not either of those two things, then it\u2019s likely because you have exceeded your monthly data usage plan limit with Comcast and they have throttled your account as a result.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1649087392329\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_my_Comcast_Internet_so_Slow\"><\/span><strong>Why is my Comcast Internet so Slow?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>If you are experiencing <a href=\"https:\/\/abodeinternet.com\/comcast-internet-so-slow-xfinity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">slow speeds on your Xfinity internet<\/a>, there are a few things you can do to fix it. The first thing you should do is confirm that the speed tester shows a strong signal and that your device is connected to the correct Wi-Fi network.
