Netgear Orbi CBR750 Wi-Fi 6 DOCSIS 3.1 Mesh Wi-Fi Cable Modem Router - won't bond to more than 4-upstream bonded channels
I spoke to Cox sales & tech support prior to purchase of the CBR750 to verify this device is certified to work on the Cox network. - The Cox website actually features the modem-COX CBR750 page I have reached out though Facebook messenger, andcox.help@cox.com The issue is that we had a scheduled ‘upgrade’ to our service area in Apri 22, 2021 Our service areahad an additional 4-upstream channels added to allow for the full ‘8’ — the Cox tech verified today that his field modem was getting the full 8 — the above The CBR750is only locking Channel ID 1-4 The Cox webpage (link above) clearly states for the CBR750:“32x8 channel bonding” I need someone in Cox engineering to determine that the current modem firmware (V1.01.08.)does not allow for all 8 - upstream bonded channels with Cox cable.And or that my modem is correctly provisioned with theappropriate coding to allow for the full 32x8 channel bonding. I cannot personally provision these settings—or modify firmware.

8 Upstream Channels Are Not Bonding
I recently upgraded to the Arris SBG8300, whichis capable of32 downstream channels and 8 upstream channels. All 32 downstream channels are bonding, however, only 4 upstream channels are showing up in the gateway control panel. Would someone please be able to tell me if Cox has a limitation of 4 upstream channels or can this be changed by request? I have gone around and around with technical support and they don't have a clue. I was asking them to transfer my ticket to the Engineering department but they scheduled an appointment for a technician to come out and investigate. I have my doubts that a technician is going to be able to help. TIA!583Views0likes0Comments
