NETGEAR - 16 x 4 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem - Black

Installation was straightforward, didn’t take long with Comcast. This Modem also supports telephony.

It's very hard to find a modem without WiFi that also has the phone service (which is what I wanted), however this one absolutely does the trick. Everything seems to be going great so far. No more rental fees for the equipment and no more of WiFi running on the Comcast Gateway even though I turned WiFi off. The latter is one of the main reasons I wanted a new modem without WiFi. It was still running WiFi (the light on Gateway was off, but in the actual Gateway settings it kept showing it was running a hidden WiFi signal). I have my own router that is much better than the Gateway from Comcast and I don't want their WiFi signals interfering with my router. Set up was a breeze. The instructions say you must call Comcast to activate it, but that was not true for me. I was able to activate it by launching the web browser and the set up screen to activate it popped up. It gives you an option to sign in with your Comcast email to activate or use your Comcast account number. If I remember correctly, there was also another option, but I can't remember what it was. Also, be sure to restart your modem before hooking your router up to it because in my case I just unhooked the modem from running directly into the computer and plugged it in to the router and booted the router up and it would not work. I'm guessing this was a MAC address issue since it was originally directly connected to the computer. Once I restarted the modem and hooked it up to my router, everything was fine.

Installed a couple days ago along with a eero router. Sales person at Best Buy said it would be "super easy to install - probably complete in 30 minutes or less". He didn't realize (although I told him) we were dealing/communicating with Comcast/Xfinity. After about 4 1/2 hours on the phone with Comcast and being told they loaded the wrong equipment into my account and it would not be operational for 24 hours-"call back tomorrow" I decided to try to load it myself through the my account/Xfinity program (a couple hours later). With a quick phone call to Netgear and a quick call to eero I was up and running - Netgear and eero are GREAT to work with - Comcast SUCKS!! I would recommend this to a friend if they did NOT have to deal with Comcast - otherwise I would not recommend to my enemy.....

I wanted to lower Comcast bill so I purchased this modem. I went to Comcast website to find compatible modem to purchase that would meet my needs for internet & phone. Setup was simple, a call to Comcast to recognize my modem and I was good to go. I was paying around $11-12 a month to rent a modem so it was worth buying. I should have done it sooner!

Used for new xfinity voice/internet service. Worked very well. Had initial issues of modem every morning dropping out and having to be reset. Called NETGEAR support ran some tests and said signal strength from xfinity was to high. Xfinity came and checked it out and put filter on line and signal strength still to high so they found issue with amplifier on the Main line which they fixed. Been trouble free since then. Modem seems to be a good choice for basic service

I wanted to get away from rental fees and bog downs from using the cable company's equipment. I went into bestbuy and told them that I need a router that can handle 4 fire sticks, 3 laptops, a playstation and multiple phones. They recommended this router and it's fantastic. No issues at all with buffering and no background snow when the connection was poor enough to play but not buffer. I would definitely recommend this to someone looking for a exactly what I was.

Only had a it month and no issues yet so it’s getting 4 stars. Moved away from my comcast router/modem and added the google nest. Have a 2100 sq foot ranch and my office is in the basement. Prior to the move I was averaging roughly 12-20 mbps/day now I’m at 75-90 mbps/day. My office is on the other side of the house where the modem and router are. It has made a huge difference and I haven’t had to call Comcast (which was doing monthly) to complain for the first time since Covid. I would recommend adding a mesh point connection to it depending the size of your home.

Worked well but I had to replace this one. The filters did not work well with my internet speed. So I had to get a 3.1
