Getting 35 Mbps *upload* with xfinity & C7000v2
I have the DOCSIS 3.0 Nighthawk-AC1900 wifi cable modem router product C7000v2, firmware 1.03.01, and the gigabit plan from xfinity which features an upload speed up to 35 Mbps and 1000 down. How...
- Dec 18, 2020
Just bringing closure to this thread, I had to buy a DOCSIS 3.1 device, I chose the flagship CAX80, to realize the 35 Mbps upload speed with xfinity. It worked fine upon the provisioning, getting close to 1Gbps down and 40 Mbps up.
Just side commentary, the QuickStart instructions for the CAX80 say to use the nighthawk iOS app; I traditionally configure manually, yet thought I'd give the app a try... In this first experience with it, my suggestion would be to RUN AWAY!!! What a POS!!! The app walk-thru didn't seem to be connecting to the CAX80, even multiple tries using the QR Code, and once it finally did connect and I went thru several steps, it ultmately failed. And the walk-thru sequence didn't make much sense to me either. Even within the manual config in a web browser, a couple of steps in, a page with essentially no navigation, no Yes or Cancel, Back or Continue buttons, jumps in the way! YMMV :-(
Thanks for the help and consultation!

Thanks so much for that; So if I can only convince xfinity that they are *able* to do it, I won't have to spend $400-500...!
Here's logs (hmmmm... can only upload one file at a time??)

I should have been more specific. Event log. That checks the modem side.
You're correct. when you attach it, its just 1 at a time. but we can see it right away. If you attach it as a photo a moderator has to approve it and it takes a while.
