CM1000 Xfinity issues
I am quite frustrated at this point. I had a CM600 modem to support Comcast's Extreme 150 service. I've had it for a few years and was consistently getting 160 to 170mbps speed from it. About thre...
Well it is finally fixed. The tech showed up today and I showed him the two frequencies that were having the problem. He checked outside, and then at the tap. He came into the house and said he needed to call a bucket truck in to fix it. I got a recorded call from Comcast that they were working to fix the issue. I got a second call an hour later that the issue was fixed. I ran a speed test and got a consistent 160mbps (yay!). I used the reset button on the modem and let it re-provision. All the signal/noise and power levels were good and there were no uncorrectable codewords. They didn't tell me what they fixed, but at long last, it is fixed.
martyr444do you think this is an issue with Xfinity or with the Netgear. When their modem was put on, I was getting 175mbps. I am wondering if I should just bring the Netgear back and go with a different vendor. I really don't want to rent a modem from Xfinity.
I think this is an issue with xfinity and docsis 3.1 modems. I have tested two netgear cm1000 modems and an arris sb8200.. both of these are the top of the line docsis 3.1 modems and all 3 had identical issues at my house. The second I went out and got an arris sb6190 (one of the fastest docsis 3.0 modems) everything worked perfectly. It also worked perfectly with the rental modem which was also docsis 3.0. I think its fair to say this issue is isolated to docsis 3.1 modems.. atleast on my network.
