For example, if you have an older computer with maximum Ethernet port speeds of 100 Mbps, you won’t get a usable result for any internet service faster than that.
But you’ll need to make sure that the Ethernet port or the cable isn’t slower than the speed of your service. Regardless, I’m happy with what I am getting and it’s more hassle than it's worth to invite a Comcast tech to my home. If your router does not have a built-in test, the next best thing is to connect a Gigabit Ethernet cable from a laptop or desktop computer directly to the modem, bypassing the router. I’m paying for Comcast’s 1-gigabit per second service, but not getting the full speeds. But when I use the test built into that router, I get speeds between 700 and 800 Mbps. Both devices support WiFi 6, a newer WiFi protocol.
