Comcast bricked my CM2050v
I have a Netgear CM2050v that I have been using since November 2021 without any problem. Occasionally Comcast will have a service outage, due to an issue or saying there is "planned maintenance". Tod...

Glad the replacement worked.
Ya, It will be up to the ISP to support model modems on there mid split or higher speed tiers. All up them.
Probably not. I'll check and see if I can find out what happened.
Please mark your thread as solved so others will know.
Enjoy.

I've been using the replacement CM2050v for the past few weeks without any problem.
Today the modem rebooted a couple times, and when I logged into the Admin page it shows there was a firmware update to V10.01.03. I looked on the Cable Diagnostic screen, and it looks a little different (like the v9 from a few years ago) and now have 1 OFDM Upload channel.
I did a Speed test, and before on the 1Gb plan I would get about 1180Mbps down and 24 up, now I'm getting 1288 down and 45 up. So maybe they are doing this mid-split work in the area as well. Technically the C2050v says it can do a few hundred mbos upload with 2 OFDM D3.1, but Comcast site says that for mid-split they only support the CM2500 and CM3000 (which doesn't come with eMTA voice).
The bad one that I sent back to Netgear, is there a year to know if they are going to test it and what the results were?

That would be great if you could find out if Netgear has or will be testing the CM2050v I sent back and if they know what happened to it.
