Hi,

 

Does anybody know when the CM1150v cable modem will be available for sale?  Thanks.

  • Well, don't know if this has been answered but I just received mine today. Must be pretty fresh becasue I can't find much in the way of feedback out there. 

     

    I will say I have Xfinity Gigbit internet service and spent 4 hours going back and forth with different chat agents tonight trying to receive the promised speed. Never could get DOCSIS 3.1 or the proper speed. Xfinity finally gave up and referred me to Netgrear support. BTW, I purchased it from BB and received it quickly. Other sites such as AMZ don't list it as being for sale until the end of January.

     

    Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it will be a fantastic modem, but I'm not off to a good start!

     

    Best of luck.

      Awesome!  I ordered mine on Amazon and don't mind the delay.  These devices are usually quite buggy at first and it'll take a couple of months for the updates to get them more stable.

        Great to hear. I'm sure you're right about the bugs at first :)

         

        I did open a ticket with Netgear since Xfinity had no more answers for me. I'll update if I reach any resolution. Otherwise, best of luck to you!

      Please PM me details (current speedtest results, CM MAC, Account #, screenshots of the connection page and event log, and confirmation if you have ever seen Close to gigabit  before purchasing CM1150V such as XB6 Comcast gateway)

        Sorry, very frustrating indeed. I gave up and bought a Motorola MB8600 as it was one of the 3 approved and compatible modems. Still no luck. At lease I can verify that I"m locked onto DOCSIS 3.1 as the lights are all blue. When running speed tests it will jump up to and over 1GBps but then bounce quickly down to under 500 and stay there. Doesn't seem to matter where it test, wired to modem, from wired router using Orbi's speed test, or wirelessly. All about the same. My money is that it's Comcast somehow. I will say also that I purchased an attenuator to tweak my signal strenght a bit. All of my numbers are well within optimal range now so no idea.  The one Netgear guy who was helping abandoned ship on me as well, so there's that then.  Good luck to you.

  • Got mine yesterday, setup was a breeze, not getting gigabit speeds. Modem rebooted itself overnight, no internet this morning, had to reboot the router. then modem rebooted itself again, I think it got a firmware update, but not sure. Working now but not at top speed :(

    • Great to hear about your setup experience gbly. Mine was the smoothest I've every experienced provisioning a modem as well but sadly, that's where it ended.

       

      As mentioned, many hours wasted with Xfinity chat support until I reached the end of their script and they punted me.  After four hours I couldn't seem to convey to them that I either wasn't getting a DOCSIS 3.1 connection or they were limiting me somehow. When I'd run a speed test, it would bump right up to the 900's and then dive into the 300-400's which is what I was paying for before my upgrade to Gigbit service. Oh, and after I was told I had to replace my Arris SB6190 because it wasn't compatible. Even though it is a 1.4gbs modem. Weeping... 

  • It looks like I may be the only one that may be getting the correct download/upload speeds with the CM1150V. I'm using a NETGEAR RAX120 Router, and I'm getting about 960 Mbps down, and 43 up, wired, through the router. I activated it using the link provided, and didn't have to call Comcast.

    I hope everyone else is able to resolve their issues, as I'm really loving this modem, and my RAX120 router combined.

        As of now, the RAX120 is only available through the NETGEAR Premier Membership Beta Program, which is a type of leasing program. I was invited to participate in the program.
