Bridge Mode?
Does this modem come from the factory in Bridge mode? I'm having problums port forwarding. I have set up the netgear router (AC1200) with no luck on any ports. I did the activation thru Xfinity.

Well, I think it’s the typical tactic of shifting responsibility to another manufacturer to get you off the phone. If I unplug one modem and put another in its place and things are now misconfigured? I put it back the way it was and it works?

So do you get internet with a PC that is directly wired to the CM modem when it's online? If you do then thats not NG's problem. If you don't then either the configuration is bad on your PC, the LAN cable could be bad or the CM modem is faulty and needs to be replaced. You'll have to try these to determine this.
