The Future of CM2000
Does NETGEAR intend to (eventually) enhance the CM2000 through a firmware update to enable improved upload speeds on the Xfinity “10G” next generation network, as are now available with the CM3000 -...
I know this is aluminum foil hat territory, but my connection to Xfinity has progressively gotten worse recently with my CM2000 and I was wondering if this is because of the modem or if Xfinity is just trying to push me to get their modem.
I did a manual reboot of my modem recently and now only one light (upstream) lights at all, I saw the multi light up for a second, but it went right out. Of course I'm a couple months out of warranty, too. The web diagnostics say it's fine, but my speed has dropped over 200Mbps over the course of the last few months.
I'd buy another netgear but if it's only going to last me a little over a year, it's not cost effective compared to just renting one from Xfinity.
I'm really bummed my CM2000 isn't lasting as long as my old Netgear modem, but like someone said above, it must just be a stepping stone to the 3000, which Xfinity still supports, but I'm not willing to pay hundreds of dollars for something that might fail again a little over a year from now.
