Adding more points to the issue with sb8200, please check the below points :
- The speed plan can be limited to 800mbps (only for Xfinity)
- Check the LED lights of the modem are they Solid? Flashing (Power/Receive/Send and Online)
- If you are unable to connect to the internet after connecting the modem directly to the computer, please check the IPV4 address by pressing the Windows Key and the Letter ”R “ together and typing cmd in the RUN command, the next step will be a blank screen type in “ipconfig” and check the IPV4 address
- If its is dropping on the internet please check the cable signal levels:

- Straight to your computer if the router is still connected to the modem won’t work. Xfinity only supplies 1 public ip address and if the router is using it, the computer can’t.
- Got a screensnip fo the cable connections page and event logs? That helps check the line a bit as xfninty’s first response is always “its not our line”
