Reboots needed but with reason (Updated 3-11-17)
I went against the reviews I was reading and decided to get this modem. The modem itself is great. After doing some digging there is a firmware issue with 2.01.14 and Netgear is supposed to be updating to 2.01.15 on Cox and Comcast. I called Comcast and they said they don't have any information regarding this update as of yet. The firmware issue is what is causing the T3 and T4 timeouts. I hope they get this fixed. I was really excited to have a modem do what it was advertised to do. Update 2-15-17 I rebooted this morning and the modem received the new firmware version, 2.01.15. I have been using it for a while and the uncorrectables are at 0 and the correctables are no higher than 50 per channel. I show no errors in the log all day. I am running a Mumble server with 5 people connected so there is sufficient up/down to make it hiccup. Will update again accordingly. Update 3-11-17 I have been using the modem with the updated firmware for about a month now. No issues have come up that were like previous ones. The modem gets broadcasted maintenance windows and reboots accordingly. It doesn't get stuck in the boot up where it needs shut off and turned on again. It doesn't randomly shut off anymore. My speeds have not changed like others were saying with the update. They are still the same. I have given the modem a 5 star review for the issues being resolved.
