Hello All,
Here is my issue, I have the latest firmware update and since that update I have had a terrible time staying connected or getting any of the download or upload speeds I am paying for. I had an Xfinity guy come out and dissconnect the router and test the modem and am getting on avearge download speeds of 250mbps and uploads of around 11 - 12mbps. Once we connect the router it drops to 40mbps - 60mbps,
I have reset the router, I have disconnected everything and redid set up and still the same issue. I have talked a a few trusted colleauges and they mentioned the latest update Version:1.0.3.54_1.1.37 is causing these issues and I need to rollback to the previous firware release.
Any advice or reccomendations would be very helpful. Thanks
Brian
