CM1150v Availability
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!
Will do, thx...
Please continue to share findings back on this thread. Like many others I'm looking to purchase this unit, but it sounds like it doesn't work with Comcast at gigabit speed... Right now, there are only two other options with Comcast. 1.) Lease their modem or 2.) Activate 2 modems, with one being for phone... Looking forward to a "Working" version of the CM1150v product.
As you can see by my previous post I tried speedtest.net and get a totally different speed than comcast test. I guess comcast test is wrong? Moden has been running fine last 3 days :)
Great to hear! I'm still in Comcast purgatory. No real answers yet. You are right, speedtest.net results are usually less favorable than Comcasts. Strange. Early on the Netgreat employee trying to work with me indicated my line was too "hot". He didn't think that was the issue, but after no resolution and many days, I'm not so sure. I've just ordered the Motoroa SB8600 since people seem to have fewer issues with Comcast Gigabit service.
I want to love the Netgear, but don't know if I can survice another fruitless hours long session with Comcast support. I still have few days before the new modem arrives and will continue to check what I can. I just received an order of high frequency couplers and compression F connectors in case it is signal/cable related.
Thanks for the update! Happy surfing...
Got mine today, can't get over 580mbps!
Also sucks to find out the firmare is not available for port aggration with the matching nighthawk routerSorry, 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.
Unfortunately this is the ONLY gig-speed modem with Voice and comcast/xfinity does not offer or support seperate VoIP adapters and I have xfinity voice for my home phone line.
