@user_cv3kal We're human on this end of the screen, how can we help you with your modem? You can find information about modems and the plans they can support by viewing our device information page

So I have a Motorola MB8611 modem and a Netgear RAX35 wireless router.  My internet plan is up to 2gbps.  I see the bottom light on the modem is flashing green, should be blue to indicate 2gbps I believe.  According to "My Info":  "Your modem isn’t optimized for the plan you selected." even though it's on the compatible modems list.

A little help would be appreciated.

guido542350, Hello there, and thank you for reaching out to Xfinity Support. The only modems that are compatible with our 2-Gig speed are our XB8, preferred, and our XB7 at the very least. Customer-owned modems are not currently compatible with our X-Class speeds. We do have promotions available that include our modem rental and unlimited data at no additional cost. Would you be interested in learning more about these offers?
