The only thing I did was make my 5GHz bandwidth setting to 20/40/80/160 but I think it acted the same with 20/40/80. Other than that, no special configurations or any tweaking. Kept my SSID separate for both bands. ... View more

I’ve have great Wi-Fi experience with the gateway. My iPhone XS has been getting speeds as high as 553Mbps on download over 5 GHz and my MacBook Pro has been able to exceed 800 Mbps sometimes hitting 900 Mbps. ... View more

To answer some of your questions: 1. I’m not sure but it doesn’t hurt to have a POE filter. I have one in front of my similar device to the Amphenol. 2. The splitters need to be MoCA compliant but sometimes you might be able to get away without MoCA compliant splitters but I would recommend it. 3. Look at my prior post about MoCA experience with that gateway that is the same to this very day. 4. There aren’t really any settings to change on it in relation to MoCA. 5. I would use the splitter. I wouldn’t trust the Cable Out port too much. ... View more

Personally, Unfortunately, I have had poor experience with MoCA on the CGM4140COM and have traced the issue to the gateway firmware itself where it keeps dropping MoCA connections. The only workaround I was able to find would be to use the additional ECB6200 connected by Ethernet to the XB6 and then connected by coax (using coax in) to the MoCA network with disabling the XB6 MoCA. ...

Why? If you want devices to be able to communicate with one another or use xFi, they should be on your private network. You shouldn’t be using xfinitywifi in your own home when you private Wi-Fi. ... View more

The XG1 would be good but the XiD might not be since that is a fully MoCA dependent box. Last time I had that similar box, it didn’t use MoCA to go straight to the XG1, it used the the gateway as the medium to connect to the XG1, but it might have changed to go straight to the XG1 which also gives out a MoCA signal. As a test to find out if the equipment is good is to temporarily disable the XB6 MoCA and then test out the XiD to make sure it can still access Internet apps and use Live TV and OnDemand. ...

Ok, let me put this all together to see if i'm understanding you correctly:   -There is software in the gateway and in the STB that needs to communicate for X1 to function -Comcast uses some method to prevent the STB and gateway from communicating through anything but the built-in MOCA interface on the gateway -As such, connecting a STB to a moca bridge over coax and a second moca bridge to an ethernet port on the gateway will not work. -Bonded MOCA 2.0 does not function properly on the gateway, so you will never get gigabit over MOCA and functioning X1 STB's on the same physical network segment.   Possible solutions: -Run a drop of cat6 -Fios -???   That pretty much cover it? 1. Yes, but it depends on which X1 boxes, some of them need to communicate with the gateway over MoCA. If you have XG1 and XG2 models you should be fine to use the workaround  through disabling the XB6 MoCA to get it to work. 2. This “method” makes sure it works where it’s guaranteed to work since it’s their equipment being used and not third party equipment.  3. It can still work, but depending on which X1 equipment you have, it can prevent it from working. 4. Yes the gateway does not function properly over MoCA, but you may be able to disable its MoCA, Connect one MoCA bridge by Ethernet from the gateway to coax and then from the coax to the other bridge and to an Ethernet connected device. ...

I traced the issue back to the gateway itself, last I heard it is being invesitagted, since the issue does not occur on the TG1682G (regular MoCA 2.0) @jweaver0312, i appreciate you taking the time to reply to me. Have you conclusively determined that the Technicolor gateway is the issue with the dropped signals and not a cabling issue (i.e, have you replicated the issue with a short run of RG6 from the TG to the bridge)? Why would X1 be affected by disabling MOCA on the gateway and using another device on the LAN as the MOCA controller when everything remains on the same network segment? Is that some sort of software restriction placed by comcast?  Certain X1 equipment, I forget the model numbers of said equipment, require the use of MoCA that can be only from a Comcast gateway. I have conclusively determined and ran the short run test for a MoCA link and it does the same thing. I’ve seen it even drop X1 boxes from its MoCA network. When its tested with an XB3 gateway, then it works perfectly fine. ... View more

Most areas don’t allow a second modem. If your area does means you will have to pay for an additional internet subscription. 1 internet speed tier subscription for 1 modem. An alternate option for you would be MoCA adapters. ... View more

Even though the 2-pack is recommended, since the Arris XB6 already has MoCA built in, you shouldn’t have to do anything at the gateway except making sure MoCA is on and that you have a MoCA POE filter before the first splitter in the house. What you have to do for the basement is correct. Here’s the newer model: Actiontec Bonded MoCA 2.0 Ethernet to Coax Adapter, 2 Pack (ECB6200K02), Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013J7O3X0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_hkKwCbX53PD4S Even though you should only need one, the Arris XB6 might be plagued with the same MoCA bug the Technicolor XB6 has when it comes to MoCA where the workaround would be to use adapters. So I would buy the twin pack to be on the safe side. This way if you need to go the route of using both, you can. Or if you only need one, it the one fails within the year or at all, you have another one to replace it with. ... View more

Check your devices and make sure they are operating at 1Gbps Full Duplex. Your downstream levels look a bit on the high side but I don’t think they’re high enough to cause an issue. I have also escalated your issue to a Comcast Employee. ... View more

If you own your own equipment do this: https://mydeviceinfo.xfinity.com Put in your zip code and the download speed you are upgrading to and click “Find Equipment” and look for your current modem on that list. If it is there, no upgrade needed. If it isn’t, then it would mean the speedtier you are upgrading to would require an equipment upgrade. ... View more

Since you were just testing it out, you should’ve been able to get away without terminating the open port. The only two things I can think of at the moment is that something is either wrong with the splitter or the coax going to that room. So even with a cable directly connected to the router itself gave slow speeds? ... View more

About how far away, in coax distance if you know, are the two adapters from each other? ... View more

With an older gateway that I had from Comcast, I was able to use a MoCA from adapters with X1 and had no problems. The way you are describing it, you should be fine but just make coax wise the distance between the two adapters is 50ft and that there is a coax hookup in the basement. Also, if you need a splitter, make sure it is MoCA compliant. If you do want to isolate the MoCA adapters to their own network, you could use MoCA Privacy which is similar to protecting the MoCA network with a password. ... View more

Here’s the common misconception of the agreement in general. Equipment is not included nor covered by that agreement since it is an additional fee.

Yes, all online activation will do is just activate it and then you would have to manually set a new network name (SSID) and password because it won’t let you go anywhere except for the Xfinity home page when you do online activation. By using the xFi app, it should allow you to transfer most, if not, all your settings such as xFi user profiles, protected browsing settings, parental controls options, bedtime mode settings, Wi-Fi settings. The only things you might need to do yourself is you might need to redo any port forwarding if you have any, and turn off the xfinitywifi home hotspot if you don’t want it on. ... View more
