CM2050V - Latest Firmware Preventing 2.5 Gbps Passthrough on Ethernet Port
Hello all, and specifically to the moderator, I'm reporting a potential firmware or hardware version defect where the native Ethernet port fails to pass through 2.5 Gbps speeds to the LAN, with f...
One other consideration.....
Is the issue that all CM2050V modems top out at 1GB, or only this CM2050V modem?
- Netgear's Product Data Sheet is explicit in claiming speeds to 2.5GB
https://www.netgear.com/images/datasheet/networking/cablemodems/cm2050v.pdf - Comcast (Xfinity) lists the CM2050V as supporting download speeds to 2.32GB and upload to 485MB
https://www.xfinity.com/support/internet/customerowned - If all CM2050V modems cannot exceed 1GB download speed, one would think there would be serious conversations going on.
- If only this one, four year old CM2050V is faulty, then the solution would be to replace it with a modem that works correctly.
Do the techs carry spare cable modems on the truck?
Amazon has a pretty liberal return policy. What about buying a "refreshed" CM2050V for $149. If it fails, return it. Reason: it doesn't work correctly. If it does work, then that adds to the possibility that the original CM2050V has bit the dust.
