Delayed Ethernet Connection--more

This follows up on previous conversations about computers with ethernet connections (not wireless) experiencing delays in getting connected after waking up from sleep. People with both the XB6 and XB7 gateways have been experiencing this problem since mid-December.

 

If you were contributing to the previous discussion about this, please check in here and let's continue the discussion.  Here is a partial list participants:

@alantrainor1  , @BlackTriad , @Kruunk83 , @TomasNieve , @sjwj , @hjens , @blueaid 

@g-hodgson , @fiero44  , @badcrab  

 

@BlackTriad  --  Is your gateway still running the updated firmware? Has the updated firmware fixed your problem?

 

Has anyone else received updated firmware which has fixed this problem?

I'm glad to hear that many of us are getting the updated firmware.

I am still waiting, 82 days and counting. I'm in Michigan. Comcast is sure taking their sweet old time with the rollout.

I was sent a PM from a Comcast Tech last week. They suggested
that I let them reprovision my gateway and that would help get my new firmware earlier.
I have a XB6 and received the newest firmware today. Problem Solved.
Thank You Comcast for fixing the problem and staying in touch.

Glad to see that three more people have had this problem resolved.

 

Are we done here? Is there anyone following this thread who still has this slow-connection problem when connecting via ethernet?

Thanks for everything, Steve. Unless we hear from someone else, I think this is a done deal.

One final thought.

I wonder if one reason there wasn't the explosion of complaints regarding this issue that you would have expected is that it might not have been as noticeable with a HDD. I have a SSD and boot in about 25-30 seconds so the delay was only about 10 seconds on a boot up. Waking from sleep is only about 5 seconds so the full 30-35 second delay had to be endured.

Just a thought.
