to bad it doesnt work correctly on xfinity why did you relese it if it doesnt work with xfinity correctly?
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.

- I would like to buy it imminently. Can you please let me know what the minor bugs.
Thanks.Hi, I'v had this unit CAX 80 about a month. When it works it is as fast as I wanted it to be. Range for wifi is very good. But, the first 10 days it dropped the wifi several times a day. Wifi not hard wirded ethernet connections. After going through 3-5 tech reps I got one who suggested a factory reset (3 times we did that) then changed the channels for each frequency. I downloaded an app for my smart phone to find out the neighborhood channel selection & then selected a channel not being used. The dropping of the wifi has decreased to about once a week, better but why???
Working with routerlogin.com/192.168.1.1 to change the channel is a real pain as you have to change your password to get to that location to then change the channel. All of this was a real learning experience but not the "out of the box" quality I thought I was getting from Netgear, especially considering the price $430. If you can get past these types of problems I think you will be pleased with this unit.
