CM2050V Availability

[pktierney99]

The CM2050V cable modem is the only model shown on the Xfinity site for 1.2Mbps and voice. But, I can't find it anywhere for purchase. Does anyone know if it is truly for sale and where to get one? I've tried calling Netgear multiple times and only get a technician who has no idea. I can't find anyone in Sales to talk to about it.

They tend to go out of stock rapidly when they become available. covid has caused many shortages.

Thanks. I was assuming that was the case. I'm still trying to get ahold of the Netgear Sales Team to see what options exist.

Are you wanting the 2.5g port? 

otherwise your other option is the cm1150v

[plemans]

it uses wan port aggregation for up to 2gig speeds. 1gig if not using wan port aggregation.

The real issue is Xfinity -- they are stating the CM1150V won't support their 1.2Mbps stream. In part I think because the firmware update required isn't supported for the 1150V (I've also seen that in the Netgear literature). I want to connect it to a mesh network and keep the max data transport speeds at all three of the nodes (hard wire to the ethernet ports on the mesh network). I don't think the 1150V will support this option at the 1.2Mbps speed.

I think @CrimpOn maybe has a cm1150v? I don't one for specifics.
