New Netgear cm600 only bonding on 16 channels

Signals seem ok no noticeable errors. On preferred 100 just switched from preferred 50. Just bonds to 16 channels even after reset or reboot. Thought there where 32 channel bonding now so 24 should work? It is a recent modem upgrade from an older 4x4 modem.

    What state/town are you in? It's possible some older parts of Cox in Lousiana are still on 16 channels. Can you post your signal levels? If those are normal, could you also post your modem logs? Looking for some error on why it can't bond the other channels. WAG is you have a analog only(no digital TV) filter on your line that is blocking the signal the modem is trying to use to bond to those channels. I assume you are Cox internet only? No TV?

    Most likely a technician will be required to come troubleshoot further. While I have no way to check from this end one possibility is a filter of some kind on the line that is no longer necessary,.

      It is a straight cable from outside to modem. Ends were done by a cox tech years ago. Is there anyway they could blame me on this and charge say a trouble isolation charge? Knew telco years ago used customer fault and trouble isolation charge a ton. Since switched never called cox repair. Plus is there a link to any trouble isolation charges etc. All i see is online help links and fluff. Mostly got my answer here but do not want to risk a charge as do not have and inside wiring coverage.  

      But do I run the risk of a trouble isolation type charge  for the inside cabling even if I do not have fixed? 

      But do not think it is inside anyways. Just can not find online a link to policies on repairs and trouble isaliot is ther a link?

        @Nonymou Whether or not a charge is applied would depending on the technician's findings. We do also now offer Cox Complete Care for customers wishing to have inside wiring covered. -Chris
