CM1150v Availability
Hi,
Does anybody know when the CM1150v cable modem will be available for sale? Thanks.
Can you provide a link to the Motorola SB8600? I can't find it anywhere online. I only see an MB8600. I'd like to compare the specs to the CM1150V. Thanks.
Well, how embarrasing. You are correct sir. I'm so used to having surfboards I typed the wrong model. It is the MB8600. I ordered it from Amaz... but it is available at BB and a couple other places. Honestly, I'm surprised no one stocks it locally. I read an article comparing the top few DOCSIS 3.1 modems and decided I'd take a chance with it. I'll also paste a photo that Comcast chat provided showing the only fully compatible 3.1 modems at the moment. I just thought that since the Netgear was in the same family as the approved modems, that it would be okay. Article: https://bluegadgettooth.com/best-docsis-3-1-cable-modem/
Note, I've attached a screen shot of the approved modems...
The MB8600 looks like a great product but it doesn't have telephony, so I can't consider it.
Yeah, I didn't even think about the V representing voice! I don't need that component though. I will tell you I switch from Comcast voice to Ooma about 4 years ago and it's been fantastic. I use the top package and pay them $50ish annually and $5 a month becasue of federal, state and local taxes. I never even think about the bill. It comes out as a PayPal deduction.
Anyway, TMI :)
BTW, the only things the Netgear guy did tell me was that my downstream power was too high and that my upstream power is a tad low so I just ordered a 6db attenuator. Won't be here til Wednesday but I'll see if it changes anything.
BTW, I'm getting a kick out of the fact Netgear considers me a guide :) I've elevated about 5 levels in 10 posts. Just think, by my 15th post I'll be a level 100 Zen Master! :smileylol:
I assure you, I'm just a regular o'l idiot.
