My download speeds are half what they were 6 months ago

I got the same email from Comcast.  My download speeds are half what they were 6 months ago (just checked and got 471 Mbs). I also experience periodic loss of connection. 

 

My firmware is V2.01.03

 

Is Netgear really working on this?

    I am also running a CM2050V with firmware V2.01.03.  Download averaging 1150-1170 Mbps to my router, as shown with the Netgear mobile application.

     

    Stability is not the greatest.  I blame that on the Comcast upgrade work that is going on in my area.

     

    I am not with Netgear.  Several weeks ago it was reported from a couple of sources that Netgear has action to update the firmware.  No recent status updates.

    Any Criticals, Errors or Warnings seen in the event logs needs to be reviewed and resolved by the ISP. Indicates a signal issue on the ISP line up to the modem.
    Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended. 
    What is the brand and model of the host wifi router connected to the modem?
