Nighthawk model c7100v does not handle gb speeds ?
Was told by Comcast that this router doesn't handle gigabit speeds without a firmware upgrade to docsis 3.1. Anyone know if the latest firmware makes this possible ?

Thanks for the info. Thought that might be thr case. Guess a new modem/router is my next step.

Just my 2 cents but I prefer to buy the modem and router seperate. That way you control the firmare on the router and can get the latest updates/upgrades. Plus if something goes wrong, its only 1 device that goes bad and you're not out a more expensive combo device.
but some prefer combo devices for the ease and integration
