new SB8200 reboots with bad software updates multiple times a day

I purchased an SB8200 to upgrade my performance, my 5 year old modem was only getting 200Mb down and a chat agent suggested i upgrade the modem.  The new modem is getting 720Mb+ of speed, super fast compared to the old one!  But it reboots all the time.

 

I am now seeing the SW Upgrade Failed after download - incompatbile SW file about every hour.  When that happens the SB8200 reboots and I lose all connectivity for about a minute.  

 

I did go through the self install activation and everything appeared to go well.  I also found that even though the modem has two ports, only port 1 actually works (its fine).

 

(Removed the images, didn't think to just past the HTML in the window)

 

I am not sure what I can do to resolve this.

I just pasted the info in the replies to the main message.  I didn't realize that I could put HTML in the box. 🙂

That's normal. It a straight cable modem, not a router. You would need a second public / WAN IP address assigned by Comcast if you wanted that port to work.

 

Can't see your pics. Since you are a new poster, they need to be approved by a Forum Admin. That could take some time. In the interim, you could try hosting them at one of those free third-party pic hosting sites like Imgur or Photobucket and post the link to them here.

Tried to call three times this weekend, each time said 4+ hour hold times.

Is there anyway to get support?  This is happening almost hourly.  Push a bad update, reboot my modem.  I need it to just stop rebooting the modem!  Three college kids doing classes all day online.
