XR500 Compatible with Xfinity Comcast

Will this work with Xfinity (comcast)
I really wanna pick this up

  • Try Motorolas MB74xx series or Arris 6183 or 8200. These are Broadcom based modems.

    I have the MB7420 and connected to my XR500. Wonderful operations.

     

    Please avoid the SB6190 and any other Intel based modems.

    You can check on what to avoid here:

        There is none specifically that I would recommend but I'd say to avoid those with the Puma 6 chipset as they have issues with latency (not sure if that's been resolved on all of them yet).
