extremely slow download speeds

We pay for 400 mbps download speeds, and I just tested my speed on Xfinity, and I am getting 86.  My laptop is located right next to the router.  Why are my speeds so slow?

Hi there, @user_lizduc85 I'm so sorry for the inconvenience you are experiencing with your slow Internet speeds, I know how frustrating that is for you. Since it's been a few days since you posted, are you still experiencing slow speeds?-Richard

As a test, does a computer / device that is hardwired directly to the router / gateway device with an ethernet cable have the same problem ?

Please create a new topic of your own here on this board detailing your issue. Thanks. 


For future reference, it is better to submit your own post as it creates a ticket to get help, and posting on someone else's thread can delay getting help.
