Q: QuestionDoes this work with optimum?(1 answer)
A: AnswerYes. Just moved and switched to optimum and got this modem/router combo to replace the one I was renting from them. Added the MAC address to my optimum account and it synced right up, didn’t even have to call them!Answered by MattyP
- A: AnswerIf you can centrally locate the modem and elevate it, it might. But for 4000 Sq ft you might add a mesh system to be sure.
Answered by JoyComputer
- A: AnswerThe Netgear CAX30S does not support Xfinity Voice. If you need a modem/router combo that supports voice functionality, you'll be out of luck with Netgear. Their current modems that offer voice support are hardwired router only. You will need an external wireless router for wi-fi.

fast and easy
wow, I really like this router. You have to wonder why I have been paying my cable company $14 per month for the last... oh 100 years... to rent their lousy router??? This NightHawk is built for speed and easy use. It just never goes out, the internet is always there for me and lightning fast. I do have it plugged into a battery backup - duh - I learned that lesson once upon a time. This 6 stream dual band WiFi 6 router keeps all your devices happy at the same time, You will appreciate how reliable it is on multiple devices. And yes, simple set up.

NETGEAR - Nighthawk - Fast and easy to set-up!
After owning a Motorola Modem/router for over 12 years, It was time for an up-grade. I purchased this NETGEAR - Nighthawk AX2700 Router with 32 x 8 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem at the recommendation of the ISP technician that came to my house to diagnose a minor issue I was having with my internet. I have to say, and I hate using this cliche, but the set-up of this modem/router was so easy that a caveman could do it, but it was! It took me longer to remove my old Motorola and un-box the NETGEAR modem than it took to set it up! Once it was plugged in and hooked up to my P.C. & cable, I called my ISP, gave them the I.P. address & model number, and within 10 minutes I was surfing the internet! Total set-up time was approx. 40 minutes! Then all I had to do was change password for the router & create a unique passcode for the devices to connect to it! Then I performed a speed test from my ISP's website, and just by upgrading to this NETGEAR AX2700, I gained 124mbps! It's been 3 weeks now and no issues! I have a good strong signal thought out my house and it hasn't dropped of the internet once since I hooked it up! In closing, I highly recommend purchasing this NETGEAR - Nighthawk AX2700 Router with 32 x 8 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem as it was easy to set-up, it’s really fast & reliable!

WOW! What An Amazing WiFi 6 Upgrade Experience!
This Nighthawk CAX30S is the best tech investment I've ever made! Paired with Xfinity Gigabit Extra, I consistently get over 500 mbps downloads in my office studio, located on the opposite end of our H shaped 2000 sf ranch. I also invested in a new Nighthawk AXE3000 WiFi USB Adapter using USB 3.0 in my office studio to help achieve these fantastic WiFi 6 speeds. Extremely pleased with our new upgrades, and highly recommend both products! Additionally, both are very easy to install! THANKS NETGEAR and BestBuy! You have a customer for life! And a special THANK YOU to the BestBuy Associate who helped me choose this model! Steve B.
