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

I gave up waiting... I decided to use a splitter and use my old modem for phone only and a new Arris DOCSYS 3.1 gBit speed. No problems so far.
I was using a dual modem setup with Comcast (ARRIS SB8200 + ARRIS TM722G) before I got the CM1150v. The SB8200 I bought retail on BestBuy, the TM722G I got cheap used on Amazon, around $25. This worked pretty well for me too.
Only reason I have the CM1150V is because I was a beta tester for the product prior to launch.
I did make one interesting discovery in my own testing. When plugged directly to the router I saw dramatic speed differences from one browser to another, even a after clearing all caches etc. Chrome was consistently over 900Mbit. Edge was in 500 Mbit range. I suspect there is more packet sniffing somehwere in the stack for Edge, but that's just a guess. Anyway, YMMV but you might want to try another browser for the speed tests.
Browsers themselves, as well as the machine used for testing, will have some overhead due to operating system, hardware, and other limitations. Ideally, one should use a dedicated app such as the OOKLA Speedtest app, which is available on multiple platforms.
I seem to be in the same place as everyone else.
Max speed is about 500 Mbs despite 1 gig connection with comcast.
I tried Negear CS, they referred me to comcast. Comcast says all is well from their point of view.
Yes, its a new product, but, shouldn't it work as advertised?
I had the same exact issue earlier this week during the install of 1Gbs service, new XB6 > R7000.
I get 960Gbs directly connected to the XB6 with a PC, but when I connected the R7000 in “router” mode, I’d get 540Mbs max on any of the 4 switch ports. Put the R7000 into “access point” mode (which turns off the firewall, QoS and other router related features), and I get 950Mbs across all 4 switch ports.
Feels like a router firmware issue across the Nighthawk product line, but I don’t have data to back my theory.
Looks like I’m holding off on buying the CM1150v until this issue gets resolved, if it ever does.
What firmware version are you on with the R7000?

On the latest: V1.0.9.64_10.2.64
I’m aware that dropping back to V1.0.7.6 supposedly solves the issue, haven’t gotten that far down the road yet. Plan was to get the CM1150v and see where I end up, but now thinking I may have to go that route.
