Any more updates on the CM3000

IF you have a supporting wifi router system that supports LAG on the WAN side, then you could give LAG a try on the CM1200 and see if you see anymore increase in speeds.
NG doesn't give out information when new stuff will be seen. Will need to keep an eye on NGs store or in the retail sector to see when it will appear.Any and all updates are between the ISP and NG. I'm sure they are working on things. Takes time.

I saved 20$ by upgrading from 1Gbs with the flex box to 1.2Gbs without the flex box… I got all excited and then realized that my CM1200 is maxed at 1GB using a single port. 🤣🤣 I almost bought the CM2000 but seems like xfinity and netgear are not getting along…. even the voice version is suffering from lack of an update.
Second question. I have a night hawk… would it do any good to try link aggregation? Would that give some access to the 200Mbs? While I wait for the CM3000?
Using a LAG output connection from your CM1200 will help your 1 Gbps download bottleneck with the single output port.
However, until the CM1200 receives updated firmware from Xfinity/Netgear, it will not have access to the 200 Mbps upload throughput available through the enhanced speed market network.
Has your location been upgraded to the Xfinity enhanced speed market network?
I’m not sure what level of xfinity has been locally upgraded, but they do have the 1.2Gbs service available. This is what I selected and upgraded to. 5 minutes later xfinity sent a new boot config to my CM1200 and recycled it. Service is working just fine with 940Mbs download, but since so only have 1Gbs ports on my CM1200… I am capped. It’s the same speed I got before upgrading service since I had 1Gbs. My night hawk has 1Gbs Wan port and a 5Gbs port. I am using the 5Gbps port.
If I understand correctly, once I upgrade my modem to one with a 2.5 port… I should reach closer to 1.2gbps on a single port.
But since I have not bought a new modem.. you think if I add LAG… I should be able to parallelize between the modem and router… I’ll still be capped on the single port… but it might remove some bottleneck between the devices?

What model is this NH router?
- RAX 120 …. I know when I bought it… there were problems with LAG… but supposedly it works now, but I have not tried since I got the full service on the 1Gps port.
I know this will not get me higher than 1Gps on the router port. But since my service is 1.2… I’m curious if LAG will parallelize requests…. and get 1.2 on the modem side.
Higher overall throughput … not direct download speed.
We have a lot of streamers in the house…. 4-5 streams at peak.Something to try and see. However the only way to know if it's working is hopefully the onboard speed test of the RAX could show something or if you had a 4x4 mimo supporting wireless device, you could see over 1Gb over 5Ghz AX. The LAN ports on the RAX are maxed at 1Gb as well so you'll not see much over 900Mbps there.
