Xfinity nightly gateway reboots for Xfinity Pro accounts
I need to understand why your doing nightly gateway reboots, and if this is going to continue why am I paying for Xfinity Pro as a cellular backup option to keep this internet connection up 100% of the time, when I was getting better uptime statistics when my modem was bridged to my internal routers? As an Xfinity Pro customer I am seeing 0 benefit, I don't have the newest modem and you won't issue one even though I qualify.
My connection is down nightly due to Xfinity rebooting my modem sometime after midnight, today it happened at 4:58:08 am ...This doesn't happen in bridged mode, so why am I paying for a cellular backup option and to be an XFinity Pro member if you're causing the connection to drop by rebooting my modem nightly? I don't have an issue if it's a firmware update and needs to be updated but a notification would be nice before the reboot happens. For the $ I'm paying you to have this backup connection, I might be better off bridging my modem and getting a secondary provider as a backup internet connection option. I expect 0 downtime for this connection unless there's a localized or widespread outage

Greetings, @user_a83366! 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 this rebooting issue. You have definitely come to the right place for assistance.
A nightly reboot doesn't sound like normal behavior for any gateway, whether it is in bridge mode or not. Have you been having any signal or connection issues throughout the day, or does everything work as expected until the reboot occurs? Did these reboots start happening after you activated the Xfinity Pro service? I agree that a firmware update would be understandable, but those should be rare. I suppose there could be a situation where a new firmware was released one night, then had to be rolled back the next night due to unforeseen issues, then re-released the following night. We had an issue like this with the Arris S33 or S34 a while back, but I haven't heard of it happening to one of our gateways before. How long has this been going on?

I've tightened up the firewall security on the modem itself, disabled wifi and wifi hotspot, if this keeps happening I'm gonna return the extender w/cell backup and bridge my connection, there's nothing anyone on that messaging platform will do to assist with the issue regarding this modem I've already requested an XB9 and got denied after being approved, I'm not swapping the modem for another XB8 and I'm not gonna wait for 5 hours to speak to someone in india
