Title: Nice modem for XFinity X2 customers
Review: I've been using this modem now in the north hills are of Pittsburgh, and I've never once had a problem with the modem and a Deco mesh network as the router. The modem is connected via 2.5gbps ethernet to the Deco BE85 router which has 2 2.5gbps ethernet ports, and the LAN port of the BE85 is connected to a 2.5gbps switch which my desktops are connected to, including a recently built 14th gen i9 system that I took the screenshot of this speedtest from. This modem has no trouble hitting the maximum speed of the X2 service and has always worked flawlessly. At the rental cost of the xFI gateway which is $15/month, this modem will pay for itself in about just about 10 months. Money well spent. Although there is no option for this particular Hitron modem in the Xfinity app, setup was painless and the modem paired easily and without any phone calls to Xfinity to setup.Very happy with this purchase that will easily pay for itself.Edit (8/3/2024): As of the last few days, Xfinity has rolled out speed upgrades to the PGH North Hills area. I am now getting 2340/350 speeds from speedtest.net from my Coda56 on the Xfinity X2 plan with no changes to my equipment. Pretty incredible, IMO. This modem can do 450mbps on upload as rated by the DOCSIS 3.1 standard, so there is still room for improvement, however an extra 100mbps is a 50% improvement over the 240mbps I was getting previously, so NO COMPLAINTS Comcast. Thanks so much!

Title: Straightforward Setup, Good Performance
Review: I bought this to replace an aging cable modem for Comcast Xfinity that only supported speeds up to 300 Mbps or so. Primary reasons for purchasing this were performance and decent reviews. A secondary consideration is that Comcast supports this in their mobile app, so I was able to use my camera in the app to scan a code to tell Comcast the model and serial number, tell it to activate the modem, and in a few minutes was using the new modem with no need to wait for tech support. Tested with an ethernet connection from a computer to my router, and saw more than the speed I am currently paying Comcast for.Notes: When I first tried to activate the modem in the app, the "progress spinner" kept telling me to wait, and I saw the lights on the modem going through their startup sequence, but never got a "success" message. Router was showing no internet connection. Eventually canceled and retried the activation. Successful almost immediately. Not sure what glitched the first time around. Then after activation, Comcast said they needed to restart the modem (again!) and every cable modem I've ever had seems to take a long time to restart (watched pots never boil), but since that process finished, this modem has been rock solid. Two weeks so far. I'll update if there are problems.

Title: faster download AND upload
Review: This is one of the best purchases I have made. the download works well but the biggest difference is the upload speed. Mine went from 24 to 100 with this change. Why is upload important? You can read about it but I have wireless NAT in my house and it shortens the back up time by 5x! 1000 pictures (2-3mb each) backed up in 5 mins. Amazing speed. One of the cheapest 3.1 and fastest upload I have ever seen. Recommend it 120%!Update: the same day I posted above review, it started to drop connection. To ensure it's not the ISP, I plug and activate the old modem and it works perfectly. Returning this one since I need steady connection.

Title: Value buy for Xfinity/Comcast and their new upload speeds
Review: TL;DR:1) The CODA and CODA56 seem to be the best price/value buy for Comcast/Xfinity in 20242) Comcast/Xfinity certified for their new improved upload speeds (100 and 200 Mbps, up to ~455Mbps)3) Easy install via new Xfinity app (no interaction w/ CS needed (yeah!!!)4) Shaved off 5-6 ms in ping times on my end for both wired and wireless connections with only the cable modem swapped5) Stable!Long version:So far so good, it's been running 72h so far. I had a very stable setup with the Netgear CM1100 cable modem (excellent as well) and did not really need a new modem, but read somewhere that Comcast offers new uploads of 100 and 200 Mbps in the Bay Area if you have the Gigabit or Gigabit plus speed tier. The CM1100 does not support that. But it also depends on your exact address and if available already at your place (apparently not for us). In any case, I kept reading and figured I get us ready and get a new modem. Never heard of Hitron (Taiwan), but reviews were OK, so I gave it a shot. It works.Best ever modem install. Downloaded the new (purple) Xfinity app and deleted all the old Xfinity Connect and Account apps (discontinued). Launched the new purple app and said new equipment, entered the MAC address (via cellular Internet), connected and plugged in the new cable modem and voila. App was searching a few minutes, then downloading new firmware to cable modem, restarting, and we were live. No wasted 45min chatting with CSR as many times in the past.I have the 2x ASUS RT-86S routers running Merlin in mesh behind the modem and a set MAC for WAN there, so nothing else needed to be changed. Rebooted the AI-Mesh and the modem one more time and everything has been running fine the last 72.I have "SuperFast" speed or whatever they call it listed at 800/20, and I usually get about ~940/24 wired and wireless download depends on the device. We have mostly Apple and only the new 15pro supports 160 MHz WiFi, so I have 160 MHz actually still turned off so far. The 15pro is by far the fastest WiFi device in the house, I have seen ~940 download on WiFi now for the first time when I tested the 160 MHz shortly.I checked with Comcast, and I cannot get the 100 upload yet, but it's supposedly coming... The one thing I saw that the modem change reduced the ping times. From a regular ~15ms on wired it went to ~9ms, I even saw 8 once. And on wireless I see 12-15ms now instead of 17-20ms. I am not an online gamer and don't really care, but that is good reduction and consistent.Of note: This modem has one 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port only (downward compatible, of course), but you cannot do WAN aggregation. So, if you have the RT-AX86U/Pro with the 2.5 port and want to use that for the LAN, you cannot leverage higher WAN speeds. The CM1100 allows to combine two 1Gbps ports and the AX-86S/U allow to use 2x 1Gbps for WAN as well, and then you could use a 2.5 Gbps for LAN. If any of this concerns you, then the Netgear CM3000 modem may be your friend, albeit at a much higher price. It's also on the recommended Comcast list supporting the latest speed tiers. It has 3 ports, 1x 2.5 Gpbs, and 2x 1Gbps for link aggregation.For regular use though, from a price value perspective, the CODA or this CODA56 seems to be the way to go. The regular CODA is the cheapest of the bunch and the only difference is the 1Gbps port vs 2.5 Gbps port. Both support up to ~455 Mbps upload speed on Comcast/Xfinity as stated by Comcast.

Title:
Review: The modem is for us market. Major obstacles of my trial to make it working:- only ISP can update firmware- coudn't even enter setup page( ISP =Vodafone - didn't recognize modem)-it has American plug, but work on eu power after adapter usedI suggest Amazon filters out merchandise not applicable for the target markets.
Customers say
Customers like the functionality, ease of setup, and internet speed of the modem. They mention it works flawlessly, is easy to use, and consistently exceeds the cable provider's promised 2Gbps. Some say it's a good value for money, and saves them money. However, some customers have reported issues with connectivity.
