This post will be updated with a summary of the feedback reported with this firmware. I’ll be collecting all of the feedback and sharing it with internal teams as appropriate; I’ll do my best to respond to you in this thread but might not be able to reply to every single post. I may also include other issues identified through our own internal testing.
Thanks for your help!

Hitron CGN3
Model: CGN3ROG
Current production firmware: 4.5.8.37T5
Current trial firmware: TBD
Version history
- 4.2.4.8 (May 5, 2015)
- Security enhancements
- 4.2.4.11 (Oct 4, 2017)
- Improvement: Easy Connect update to support spaces in SSID
- Fix: Easy Connect initiation using wired devices
- 4.5.8.37T5 (Jun 13, 2018)
- IPv6 updates
- Security enhancements
Known or reported issues
- Non TCP/UDP/ICMP traffic (such as ESP/IPSec without NAT-T) is slowed down below 25 Mbps
- DOCSIS Event log may randomly erase itself
- Hidden SSID seems to be broadcasted from the 2.4 GHz band
Enhancement requests
- Allow SNMP read-only for network metrics (volume, throughput) for LAN and WAN interfaces from LAN side
- Provide counters (day, week, month) for uplink and downlink data volume
The correction for the low speed when using ESP packets without UDP/TCP encapsulation (which is more common with IPv6) is not included in 4.5.8.21T6. It will however be added to the issue list for tracking.
Okay you should let testers know if they are using the Modem/Router that they need to do a factory reset after getting any new firmware update as I don't use mine in bridge mode. IPv6 will not show up till a factory reset.
Thanks,
Daniel

I have updated the notes in the second post to reflect that statement and provide more precisions.
