If you're within your return period. I'd return the CM2000. Its not currently on xfinity's next gen internet speed tiers.
The Hiltron Coda 56 is and the netgear CM3000. The netgear isn't released yet but is expected. I'd return the CM2000 and wait for the CM3000 or pickup the coda56. That'll get you the increased upload speeds that the cm2000 doesn't qualify for (yet?). You'll notice a bigger jump increasing the upload than you will taking your wireless from 600mbps to 1gig

plemans Hi there and thanks for your suggestion to return the device. Can you please clarify what you're saying about Comcast? The device I bought seems to be listed as a compatible device with the Comcast system. I've arrived at the conclusion that my bottleneck now, is the Router so I've been checking out a potential Router upgrade which aligns with the thoughts shared by the first person who responded to my inquiry. I tend to upgrade gear every couple / few years and was about due when I got on the bloodhound trail of chasing specs this week.
What are your thoughts about getting greater WiFi speeds by a router upgrade? Given what you just mentioned about Comcast, I want to be sure I'm able to see an improvement before making the next leap. TIA!
