Thanks for this!!! I just ordered my xb8.
Hoping for better speed with my connection and wider range!! Can't believe they've been holding out on me for so long!!!! -
Well done ๐ Glad I have the XB8 coming. Just trying to get my Parentโs to change over.
-
were those wired or wireless connections for speeds on PS5 and PC?
-
Looking forward in getting one once it is around in my area.

The goat is backk๐ฅ๐ฅ

Hey man, do you know how to manipulate the XB8 to get better ms/ping? You have around 12 and I can't get lower than 36. Thanks in advance
-
I have had nothing but problems with the Xb8 modem. I had to switch to the XB7

Great Video! And thanks for the tip on how to upgrade. The blazing speed of Xfinity gateways is unbeatable, and their expansive signal range leaves all other in its wake. If you have lousy signal areas, use the xFi Pods. I get WiFi speeds wirelessly on average of 350 Mbps. With wire, I'm getting, on average, about 700 to 900 Mbps.

what's the weight for xb8?
-
Is the latency any better?
-
Thanks for uploading this. I get stranger download/upload speeds that you on the XB7. Heh, my download fluxuates from 85 mb to 95 mb while my upload is around 90 mb. I'm plan to purchase a cat 6 cable today so I wonder if it'll make much of a difference. However, I will get the XB8 since it supports 6gb connection.

My XB8 arrives today. I hope it provides better range because my MacBook M1 loses WiFi connection everyday for a few seconds multiple times a day. All my other devices are fine though. Iโll keep the XB7 around until I can confirm the XB8 is actually a better option for my current setup. My XB7 averages 750+ mbps on my iPhone and MacBook on the 1.2 Gb plan.

Ping is the location of where you're living.
But what is that USB C connector for tho? -
that humming noise is the modem?
-
Xfinity is asking us for this upgrade, so I assume it has the 4 ethernet ports (the ones highlighted in yellow), correct?
-
Im still using the xb3 because when i used to work at comcast as a tech a few years ago the xb6 was the new hi tech modem on the block but its range lacked compared to the xb3. But i think it is time to make an update as i think my xb3 is in need of retirement. Does anybody have range issues with these newer modems after the xb6?
-
I'm about to get the upgrade. By the way it looks on your video, that USB-C port can power it on? That'd be awesome if so. Now you can use it in any room easily(away from a living room/etc).

Will boss ever start streaming again๐ข?

Interesting. My X-finity XB7-T gives me about half the download speed, and almost double your upload speed.
I imagine the upload is limited based on how many subscribers are in the area you live in. The router improvements of a triband (6Ghz) signal and the increased range should make an upgrade worth the time and effort to put a call in. -
Bro, please save me, my xb8 has an orange light and won't connect to wifi, what do I do? It helps me
