Satellite lights turning on constantly
I find that the satellite lights (on top) are constantly on. The good news is that most of the time, it is blue, but this is happening often. It can be especially annoying at night. And yes, it does flash amber occasionally. I will normally re-sync or reboot. I just did not know if this was an issue. Thoughts? Thanks!CBK40 and Comcast/XFINITY issues
I just purchased a new CBK40. The installation went smoothly. I unplugged the XFinity modem I was renting and used the Netgear app which was a breeze. I should have known it was a little too easy. Immediately ran a speed test with wonderful results. 176 DL speeds which was better than I was getting with the rented modem/router. I retruned the equipment to XFinity and when I got home, immediately started having issues with both connectivitly and also speed. What I find odd is that since I have run a number of speed tests which all come out almost exactly the same. 33 DL and 23 UL. I have spent hours on the phone with Comcast and cannot get any explanaiton or answers. I am not normally one who buys into conspiricy theories, but it was immediatly after I returnred their equipment. I also know it could be somthing in my settings, but I cannot figure out what it is. Any feedback and or help would be appreciated. Thanks!Before I buy Orbi
I need some community help. I really want to buy the Orbi system to cover some of the dead zones in my house, but the recent reviews on Amazon and the community boards about the router losing its connection to the modem and requiring a physical reset really concerns me. Has there been a fix for this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.Tips for Using New NETGEAR Community Pages
