Arris Surfboard -switch to faster port?
Recently upgraded Xfinity internet service to 2G plan. Can I just switch to the 2.5G port on the Arris Surboard modem & reset? Or does something need to be done first or as well with Comcast?

Greetings, @5804499! I hope your week has been treating you well. Thanks so much for taking a moment out of your busy day to leave a post on our community forum about switching ports on your modem. You have definitely come to the right place for assistance.
As long as your modem has been provisioned with the new 2 Gig boot file, you should be able to switch to the faster port to obtain higher speeds. You may need to reset the device you are connecting, but the reprovisioning should take care of everything else, unless Arris has other settings in the SURFBoard Central app that need to be configured first.
