CBR750 now not working with Xfinity
I have CBR750 with one satellite, Xfinity is the ISP. Worked great for more than a year until Xfinity "upgraded" their system in my area (Bellevue, WA) early November, then several times I had to un...
Just an update if anyone is wondering...I haven't heard anything back from Netgear about this problem. No confirmation there is a problem, no comment if they have or have not found a problem, no comment it they will try (or are trying) to fix it, no comment if they will offer any credit for systems that no longer work, no comment if the CBR750 (or satellite) could somehow be used as router alone if I buy a new modem.
NG is working with the ISP on this. From what I understand there are certain CBR serial numbers that come up problematic along with issues at the ISP level. NG IS working on this. Not all CBRs are effected.
The CBR can only be used has a gateway modem in gatway mode or Bridged thus modem only mode thus disabling the router and wifi portion of the CBR. How this was designed.
However, you CAN use the CBR in a faux AP mode along with the RBS if you set a new IP address on the CBR that aligns with any external router you connect up and then disable the DHCP service on the CBR. Connect the CBR via one of it's LAN ports to the uptream routers LAN ports. The RBS will connect and get a IP address thru the CBR from the host router. You'll just have to cover the front LEDs as these will continually blink. I use a postit note to cover.
I tried this once and it worked.
Keep in touch with NG and be patient. There working on it. Should see more movement after the holidays and new year starts.
