Jumbo Frames can do more harm then good in home network situations for sure. As an FYI, I went back to XB3 for a week or so but had Comcast back out and they replaced my XB6 with a new one, made sure I had x.208 firmware, no MoCA, and Bridging isn't enabled running with a Netgear Orbi router and all is good with no reboots after a full day! <knock on wood> I switched out my ASUS RT-AC88U and I think that I started having reboots when I enabled Jumbo Frames on it and the Orbi only support a MTU of 1500. Also, when I try and put my XB6 in Bridge Mode I lose internet access to my Orbi. Do I need to configure a static IP for WAN before Bridge mode on XB6? Will putting it in bridge mode get me any more bandwidth? -Curt ... View more

What router do you have and do you have Jumbo Frames support turned off? Curt ... View more

Just an Fyi...Interesting issue from another thread regarding the rebooting but they determined it was a problem with Jimbo Frames on the network card causing reboots. Maybe they only have x.206 or possibility another issue including Bridging support. http://forums.xfinity.com/t5/Your-Home-Network/Arris-TG3482-Strange-Issue-DOA/m-p/2931407#M258660 Curt ...

Thanks for the feedback and definitely interested in if x.208 fixes the bridging issues. Mine was rebooting evening after a reset from Comcast so I went back to the XB3 250mbps for now but only getting 83mbps directly wired in. 😔😔 The techs I spoke to here in Denver have had multiple reports on rebooting of the XB6 I bet none of those folks know how to put the modem into bridging mode or why you would want to. Hopefully, x.208 is better and keeps from reboots regardless of what mode since My wife and I are in IT and work from home so can't afford random reboots during the day. Please keep us updated on your experiences and I'll let you know what I hear back from the techs. Curt ... View more

I have the TG3482G modem and yesterday changed it to bridge mode and turned off MoCA and today it rebooted like 4 times so contacted Xfinity support.  they did a reset of the modem which reset Bridge Mode off but left MoCA disabled with the same software version as reported earlier and it's been stable for the past few hours.  <Knock on wood>   Would setting a stic IP on my router help wih the stability of the connection?  I also noticed that my UP light is orange which I understand is the duplex setting which I see is 1000FD on my Asus RT-AC88U Router.  However, from the modem itself I'm getting near 1ghz spees but from router not so much.    The reason I bring this up is IF it's Bridge Mode for the period of time it can be my speeds from my router are faster so would be nice if Xfinity addressed this soon!   --Curt ...
