Product Manuals
Q: Does this modem include a built-in WiFi router?
A: No, this is a cable modem only. You will need a separate WiFi router for WiFi connectivity.
Q: Why should I buy this modem instead of renting one?
A: Buying this modem can save you money on monthly rental fees charged by cable providers, potentially up to $168 per year.
Q: How many ethernet ports does this modem have?
A: This modem has one Gigabit Ethernet port.
Q: What is the DOCSIS certification of this modem?
A: This modem is DOCSIS 3.0 certified.
Q: Is this modem compatible with Xfinity?
A: Yes, this modem is compatible with Xfinity from Comcast.
Q: What is the maximum internet speed this modem supports?
A: The NETGEAR CM700 cable modem supports speeds up to 1.4 Gbps.
A: No. This is just a cable modem. You will need a wireless router to pair with it. Make certain any wireless routers you may have but are not using are turned off to avoid a Double-NAT issue (which essentially means you are broadcasting two wireless networks on the same IP from your Internet Service Provider). If you already have a modem/router combination running (it seems to be standard issue to install them in the States now and charge customers monthly leasing fees), make sure to contact your service provider and inform them that you will be using your own cable modem and/or wireless router so they can place the one they gave you in Bridge Mode to avoid a Double-NAT issue. I'd also recommend turning in any equipment you are not using to avoid paying monthly fees and just use your own cable modem and wireless router/mesh system, Hope this helps.
Q: Will this work with comcast phone bundled system
A: I bought this modem for myself and my son who also has Comcast bundled services. It worked just fine with Comcast, met their requirements for a modem and it increased the internet speed that he received.

A must Have
I upgraded my Motorola SB-6141 because speeds drop frequently. I was researching for other brands since I only Used Motorola brand modems. I decided to try the Netgear CM-700 because of its price,Downstream and upload channels. Ever since the install, speeds been very good no drops at all.lights on modem are green and doesn’t illuminate the whole room like the Motorola modem. I do recommend this router if you want great speeds for streaming,gaming, and connect multiple devices at once.

Modem and a router were sold separate?
When Xfinity upgraded my Internet speed, I needed a modem that could keep up with it. Cut to me online researching modems and routers and learning that sometimes there’s a modem router combo. I learned from techie people that there is a huge advantage to buying your modem separate. They said they’ve had the same modem for years while they’ve had to upgrade their routers as technology evolves and changes. They told me that I should be willing to spend money upfront on a good quality high-speed modem. And that’s exactly what I did! This modem allows me downloading speeds of up to 1.2 GB and a 5G network. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!!

So easy to install!!
I expected 2 things: 1) A nighare trying to get it provisioned on my ISP network. 2) I was going to lose speed because it wasn't their product. Wrong on both counts. Setup was very easy, no issues with cable company, and after checking the bandwith, it was the same as I had prior.
