Netgear CM2000 is one best 2023 modem or maybe #1
This is one of the best 3.1 DOCSIS Modem that could support up to 2.5GBPS internet service or maybe the only one modem in 2023. This Modem is better and more stable than Arris S33. I'm currently using with COX internet and is solid connection so far. When you pair Netgear CM2000 with Orbit 970 Router on 1GB Cox internet service you will get maximum speed. (very expensive combo) links modem and router https://www.bestbuy.com/site/netgear-nighthawk-32-x-8-docsis-3-1-cable-modem-black/6425817.p?skuId=6425817 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/netgear-orbi-970-series-be27000-quad-band-mesh-wi-fi-7-system-2-pack-white/6553329.p?skuId=6553329 Please NOTE that the best OVPN routers are the ASUS brand. Using others router brands is not a simple and not available. See picture of speed test done on a Iphone 15 pro with Netgear CM2000 and Orbit 970 with 1GB Cox internet plan.

Powerful and reliable cable modem
Our internet provider was upgrading the speed we were able to receive, but our older Motorola surfboard cable modem wasn't able to handle that upgrade. We recently upgraded our wireless router to a Nighthawk so decided to stay in the same Nighthawk family with this cable modem. We are now able to reliable capitalize on over 200+ MB download speed and 16+ upload speed. We've both worked from home for 15+ years so powerful and reliable cable modem service is a must. We've used this modem for nearly a month with no issues.

No animals were hurt while installing this modem.
IMPORTANT: this is a modem and modem only. It doesn't have a router, wifi or phone service. You will need another device for those functions like a Netgear Nighthawk RAX series wifi router if you want to stick with netgear. as a cable modem it works just fine and fully takes advantage of my 1GB service, my provided by ISP modem was flaky from the start. The gigabit Ethernet ports act as one through link aggregation. they do not function as a switch allowing you to connect all your devices through it. I knew this but forgot when i was setting it up and was running in circles for 30 minutes or so. All of the ports on the back are yellow which in consumer devices usually indicate this... no idea why I thought this... being an experienced network admin... i guess we all have moments :-) Put one ethernet from one of the ports into your router (sold separately) from there plug in your devices in to the router To take advantage of the other three ports you need a router/switch that supports link aggregation. This feature is only useful if you have internet and/or networks speeds over 1gb. It would've been nice just to have a single 2.5/5/10gb Ethernet port rather than four. another nice plus is the dedicated power switch. Haven't had to use it yet but nice having it there for when i do.

Solid Modem
Solid modem with an easy installation. Had issues before with Netgear devices but it looks like I will be using them again. So far this has had no issues in the past 2 months of use and honestly the connection has been great (I have Comcast... shocker right?) and I couldn't ask for any better performance I am getting from this modem. Would recommend to anyone needing one.
