Have Netgear CM2050v Modem Issues Been Resolved?
Hello Everyone,
I'm considering buying my own modem. One of the only ones on the approved list that support Xfinity Voice is the Netgear CM2050v. I've read a lot about a firmware upgrade from Xfinity causing upload performance issues. Does anyone know if the issues with the Netgear firmware have been resolved?
Does anyone have suggestions for alternatives that support next gen speeds?

They rolled back to an older firmware version which prevents the CM2050v from working with their next-gen speeds. Specifically the upload speed. This was done to resolve stability issues. Currently you won't be able to get anything more than 40Mbps of upload speed. There aren't currently any 3rd party modems with voice capability that are compatible with next-gen speeds. The only option is to rent the Xfinity xFi gateway and that will come with built-in wifi that can't be disabled.

The issue is not resolved as far as I know. My CM2050V still has the old firmware and continues to get below advertised speeds on upload. I do not believe Comcast is motivated to fix this as they send weekly emails trying to get me to rent their stuff. I got [Edited: Language] buying this modem when it was on the compatibility list, only to have it removed!
