We have a long list of issues but most of them are not customer facing and are impacting Internal Rogers tools.
For customer facing issues, these are the main items:
Some issues in the EasyConnect flow and possibly problem when setting up WiFi with special characters (it works fine in the GUI after the EasyConnect flow)
Disabling/Enabling 2.4 GHz takes a long time
List of connected devices not populated with all devices on the network (missing devices or listed as unknown)
IPv6 DNS settings missing from GUI
IPv6 currently disabled
We are also working on further improvements to the WiFi on this device.

In that case you will have to make a decision. If you use the modem as your router, you will run into Restricted NAT issues if you swap to the new modem. If you use your own router, and that works fine, then you would miss the IPV6 capability if you swap to the new modem. The real question is whether or not that would actually make any difference to your gaming? So, drop in latency versus losing IPV6 and possible Restricted NAT, depending on your network configuration.
I have tested an XBOX One with the CODA-4582 and I was getting NAT Open (but I had IPv6 enabled during that phase of testing). The NAT should be open provided that UPNP performs correctly the port mapping.

This is a case of left hand not speaking to right hand... The reason IPv6 was disabled is because there are some issues with it in certain scenarios. I expect it will get disabled tonight.
One additional note. Some of you, if you are very lucky will also see DOCSIS 3.1 enabled on their new modem. At the moment it is only enabled in very select areas (essentially were we were conducting testing).
In the DOCSIS WAN panel, there is a section for OFDM Downstream. If there is an enabled DOCSIS 3.1 carrier in your area it will look like this.
There is no official schedule to enable it on a larger area of the network but because it takes a lot of capacity away from DOCSIS 3.0 it will largely depends on how many customers actually migrated to the new device in a given area (the new device can handle both 2 x OFDM DOCSIS 3.1 channels and 32 x QAM DOCSIS 3.0 channels simultaneously).
I can confirm I'm getting all 32 downstream channels at 256QAM.
But the HUGE benefit to me, is that the Upstream signal strength is finally fixed with this new modem!
I've had all sorts of Internet & TV techs at my house trying to fix the signal strength. Consistently, the upstream signal strength would go from 46dBmV to 50, to 51, to 55, to 57 (all the while disconnecting upstream channels until resetting the modem). Never below 46. After changing the modem this morning, I'm now getting 38-40dBmV (below is my screen shot).
Looks like we're not DOCSIS 3.1 yet in my area.
