Want some advices on modem
I recently upgraded to 300 mbps plan and Xfinity sent me an XB7-CM modem. But now I am still using with old SB6183 modem and my own router. and am hesitant to switch to the new XB7-CM because I don't want to lose the following functions provided by my current router. Can someone tell if XB7-CM supports them?
- Dynamic DNS
- VPN Server (I have a VPN server on my current router working with Dynamc DNS)
- DHCP Reservation for specific devices
- Separate Wifi SSID for 2.4GHz and 5 GHz
- Port-forwarding

Thank you very much for the question. The XB7 modem does not natively support hosting a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) VPN server, as it lacks the necessary built-in VPN server functionality and DDNS client options for this purpose. To set up your required features, you will need to place the XB7 in a bridge mode and use your own router for DHCP reservations, separate Wi-Fi SSIDs, port forwarding, and Dynamic DNS by configuring its VPN server.
