Connecting R7000 with Xfinity gateway in bridge mode - use WAN or LAN?
This seems to be a common problem but I still can't get the answer. I have an Xfinity XB3 wireless gateway (Cisco model #DPC3941T) and a Netgear R7000 Nighthawk wireless router. I've set the Xfinit...
Yes, the XAV2101v2 does not have Gigabit Ethernet, so that mystery is solved.
I see no value in putting the XB3 back into router mode. Consider doing a factory reset of the Powerline adapter and set it up from scratch.
I contemplated trying to update the firmware, but went with your suggestion first and did the factory reset for both powerline adapters. Last piece of the puzzle-- I finally decided to look at the alarm modem(?) that the other powerline adapter was connected to and saw that one of the lights was blinking orange. So I did the most technical thing I could think of and unplugged it and plugged it back in and now everything works!
Thanks again for your help. My wife is mildly impressed.
