    Working with Nighthawk Tech support today regarding my problems with CAX 80 dropping the wifi connection multi times during each day. We changed the channel settings for 2.5 ghz to 6 & 5ghz to 48. Here we are 8 hours later & so far no dropped wifi....we'll see how this progresses.

    Considering purchsing this product to work with xfinity.  Where you able to get it to work with xfinity?  What was/is the issue?  Concerned as Netgear states it is compatible with xfinity.  

     

    Thanks!

      It IS compatible with XF. You'll need to contact the ISP to have them help you get the modem associated with there services.

      Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem. 
      Be sure there are no coax cable line splitters in the between the modem and ISP service box. 
      Be sure your using good quality RG6 coax cable up to the modem.
