Hello Community!
Some updates on the Hitron AC series firmware. We have been struggling a lot with the last couple of firmwares with WiFi stability. All these issues have been investigated and replicated by Hitron.
I am suppose to receive early next week a new build (4.5.8.32) that is "should" to address all these problems altogether and bring the long awaited latency improvement to Puma 6 devices across all AC series modem (including the CGNM3552). I say should because until I test it myself and get feedback from the community, I am cautious to declare victory.
I still have the list of firmware trial participants that wanted to receive the firmware 4.5.8.31 first and I'll use the same list for 4.5.8.32. Once I have some positive feedback, I'll push it to all participants.
That is also why some of you have requested to participate in the trial but haven't received a firmware yet. I am waiting to make sure that 4.5.8.32 is a suitable candidate and bring everybody to the same version.

I just upgraded a few modems to version 4.5.8.32. Once I get some feedback on this version, I will proceed with additional deployments.
@aube you could in theory disconnect the first MoCA adapter you have connected to the modem and enable the modem's MoCA function. But, you should only do that if the MoCA settings in the modem include the privacy settings that are included in the current MoCA adapters that you use. In the current trial version for the CODA-4582, the MoCA function is available but the privacy settings have not been built into the firmware at this point. Probably on the next version.
You should ensure that:
1. The MoCA adapters are set to encrypt the data that exchanged between the adapters.
2. That there is a MoCA filter on the cable that comes in from the street or utility pole to ensure that there is no MoCA data leakage outside of the home and to ensure that the there is no MoCA data leakage from any of your neighbors into your home.
Just to note, the specs for the usual Antronix splitters that Rogers uses do not show any MoCA capability. There is a powder coated amplifier that Rogers uses that is MoCA qualified, but its only qualified to 1.5 Ghz. So, depending on what you have, splitter or amplifier, you might not be seeing the best results from the MoCA adapters and the splitter or amplifier might be the cause of the less than desirable results.
The modem is probably locked into the Extended D band, 1350 to 1675 MHz edge to edge, so, that is something else you would want to consider if you wanted to include the modem in your MoCA network. Does that coincide with your current adapters?
There are 2 silver MoCa connected to both my modem and phone box and I think the technician put one outside too but I'm not sure but for the settings, I think I'll leave it as it is because I'm not too well informed on this matter.

What's happening?
The firmware 2.0.10.28T2 (which is simply a unbranded version of 2.0.10.27) is being slowly deployed on the network. For initial soaking (before mass deployment) a group of modems (typically 5000-10000) are picked randomly and upgraded to 2.0.10.28T2.
In that case, you were simply "unlucky" to be selected and it caused a downgrade for you. Perhaps you should buy a lottery ticket 🙂
I will put you back on 2.0.10.29.
