- A: AnswerI’m assuming your questions pertain specifically to the NETGEAR Nighthawk 32 x 8 DOCSIS 3.1 Voice Cable Modem Model Number: CM2050V-100NAS. If so, then yes, a separate router is required for this cable modem as it does not have a router built into it. It is a cable modem that is specifically meant to be used with Comcast’s Xfinity internet and voice services (internet telephone). This cable modem is on Comcast’s approved list for use on the Comcast Xfinity internet services. Yes, you would plug the router into the cable modem. Once setup, it will give you WiFi access to the internet. Instructions for setting up the router should be included with the router you buy.

Q: QuestionCan this modem be used with Optimum?(1 answer)
A: AnswerThis modem Requires XFINITY® Voice Service.Answered by Netgear Support
- A: AnswerI have had my Netgear modem about one month, and not one drop with Xfinity have I experienced. Maybe you should ask Xfinity to check your line coming into where you are using the connection. Squirrels have been known to chew through those lines, diminishing bandwidth and/or causing signal loss and fluctuation.

Q: QuestionSo how well does this work with Spectrum Internet and Voice?(1 answer)
A: AnswerI used the modem for Xfinity internet and voice. Setup was easy and straight forward for both Internet and Voice, as long as the ISP provided the support on their side, automatically or manually. I cannot verify the 2.5 gbit connection as my router does not support it. My internet speed is up to 80% of my service consistently. Since internet speed could be limited by other external factors, I assumed the speed is acceptable. For Spectrum connection, one should consult the ISP compatible modem list.Answered by Tiki
Q: Questionwill the netgear modem CM 2050 work with neater nighthawk AC1900 wifi router?(2 answers)

- A: AnswerNo. Wished that there was a battery slot. Need UPS.
Answered by TexasBuyer
- A: AnswerThis is a voice modem only so no wifi of any kind. It must be connected to your router with a cat-5 or higher cable. It will work with any router.

Ditch the Xfinity gateway for speed, reliability
I only wish that I had made the switch sooner, for the first time I am actually getting what I paid for in regards to my Internet speed, to tell you the truth it seems to be a little bit faster. I haven't needed to reset or reboot my modem yet since I changed over from the Xfinity gateway. I am a paralyzed veteran so my whole house is smart and I really rely on technology, previously I was resetting xfinitys Gateway three times a day just to get my plan speed or so that it would actually work. Now I am no longer paying Xfinity rent for a piece of junk that doesn't work. The speed from this modem and my wireless router together absolutely crush what I was getting before. I have had zero issues I totally recommend making the switch, you have to remember if you have a voice plan you need to get a modem with voice or you will lose your deal even if you do not use the phone. This is the obvious choice.

Save the modem rental fee and buy this modem.
Very easy to set up, and now I don’t have to pay the $15 per month modem rental fee from Xfinity. Note that you will have to download the Xfinity App on your phone or call tech support at Xfinity to get the modem online. I chose to use the App, and it was a smooth and simple process. The modem is more than capable to handle Xfinity’s high speeds and voice service that I subscribe too. I’m very happy with this cable modem and it performs flawlessly.
