Slow upload speeds - Nighthawk CM2050V

Hello all,

 

Hoping someone can help with this issue.

I have Xfinity Gig Plus Internet. My neighborhood was upgraded. Advertised speeds are up to 1.2Gbps download and 200Mbps upload.

 

Download works great. Get between 1.1Gbps and 1.4 Gbps consistently since I upgraded to my current modem (modem before was Xfinity provided).

 

Having issues with upload. If I reboot the modem, it negotiates upload using Upstream OFDMA Channels:

Under this negotiated connection, I get between 150Mbps - 250Mbps upload.

 

Throughout the day, the modem upload indicator light flickers. Sometimes it stops, maintaining the Upstream OFDMA Channels and great upload speeds.

 

Sometimes, the light flickers and it turns amber instead of blue.

When this happens, my upload speeds are 17Mbps - 22Mbps (pretty significant difference)

I notice that the Upstream OFDMA Channels is not present / not locked:

When it goes into this mode, it stays this way. No matter how many times the upload indicator flickers. If I reboot the modem, it goes back to negotiating Upstream OFDMA Channels. Excellent upload speeds. Then after a few hours or a day, it goes back to the degraded state.

Hello @user_2dpkl3, and thank you for reaching out with your upload concern. I would be happy to take a look into the issue with you.

Can you send us a direct message with your full name, name of account holder (if different), and service address please?

To send a "Direct Message" to Xfinity Support:

Click "Sign In" if necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon (speech bubble)

Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there

- As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list

- An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

Press Enter to send it

@XfinityEricB​ We were told that a "fix" was being developed for the Netgear Nighthawk upload speeds.  I called Netgear support and they knew nothing about this. Can you tell us when the fix will be released?  I spent a lot of money for a modem that works with Xfinity landline service!

Thank you,

DG

So I was told by a comcast rep on Sunday that the 2050v would work.  I just activated it and I am still only getting 400/10 however I am suppost to get 400/100.  The website says that this modem is compatible. Is there a way to contact engineering asap to have this fixed.
