We've noticed intermittent connectivity issues with your internet service and have identified the cause to be a defect with your NETGEAR CM2050V internet modem. NETGEAR is working on a software update that should fix the problem. Because the update may not be available for several months, we have taken steps in the interim to stabilize your connection and provide you with the best possible experience. These proactive measures should resolve your intermittent connectivity issues and provide you with fast speeds, but your modem may not achieve the full upstream speeds included in your Xfinity Internet package until the NETGEAR CM2050V software update is deployed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had a problem with xfinity and net gear called them with me on the line and fixed quick thx net gear.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Netgear nighthawk seems to be fast and reliable. I have only had it for less than a week. Complete set up was easy with the IT tech. So far so good.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This modem is not fully compatible with Xfinity. However the compatibility issue does not appear to be on Netgear's end. Xfinity is intentionally degrading the performance of this modem. Upload speeds are 1/5 as advertised by Xfinity.
However, all aspects of the modem that relate to Netgear are great. The online manager tool works well and the modem does not loose connection

Hi Valued Customer,
Thank you for your review, we appreciate your valuable feedback and we want you to know that your experience is important to us as we are always looking for ways to improve. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing slow speeds with your CM2050v while on the Xfinity network. We understand Comcast/Xfinity has recently issued a statement regarding your CM2050V cable modem may not achieve the full upstream speeds due to their proactive measures to address intermittent connectivity issues. Releasing a fixed firmware that restores the function that supports increased upload speeds on Xfinity is our highest priority. Please visit this NETGEAR Community Post regarding this matter for additional information: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Cable-Modems-Gateways/NOTICE-CM2050V-cable-modem-customers-with-Comcast-Xfinity-may/m-p/2352133.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No wifi and connects to Xfinity with no problems. Handles multiple connections with a router or switch, giving you the control over your services. Customer service is great. Found connections that were not showing up on the xfinity app. Got the connections identified and reported.
