Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Linksys CM3024 replaced my Motorola Arris SB6141. Setup was simple, as with any cable modem, but it's the activation where many have their headaches. Not with this Linksys CM3024. I simply traded cables with my previous SB6141, powered it up, waited a couple minutes then power-cycled it again and was able to follow through with Comcast's web activation. Not having to pickup that phone was nice. As for speed and overall performance, there has been no slow downs, drops or anything that would cast doubt on the CM3024. I still consider early in the game so if my opinion changes by any means I will certainly update this. I received this as a free sample from Linksys in exchange for my honest feedback and I am honestly satisfied with it and I definitely give this a thumbs up. For cable modems, I am a Motorola die hard but I will gladly say this: It has been an awesome replacement and I will not be swapping it back.

I received this modem for free as a member of the Linksys Friends + Family Program in exchange for my honest feedback. I replaced my ISP rented modem and the my performance and reliability immediately increased. My current package provides upto 300Mbs, and i am able to acheive that without a hitch as i was unable to get speeds anywhere near that with the rental. The modem has been running for a week with no signs of degraded performance and required no reboots, the rental was rebooted atleast 3 times a week. The only downside of the modem is the size, its very bulky. The modem is paired with the Linksys WRT3200ACM router. I have used many Linksys products and will continue to do so.

I received this modem as a free sample from Linksys in exchange for my honest feedback. Unboxing was typical. Included is the modem, AC adapter (which isn't too big), cat5e network cable, and quick start guide if you need it. Replaced my surfboard sb6121 with this linksys modem. PROS: -Offers great speed. Currently on 75mbit/10mbit cable but soon to upgrade to 150mbit/20mbit and this modem will easily handle those speeds also. -Nicely designed with green and blue status lights -Built in stand to allow modem to stand up easily which is something my surfboard always suffered from with coax being too stiff to allow it to stand vertically. -Setup and activation was super easy and quick (less than 5-10 minutes including waiting for comcast to recognize the modem) -Black in color. -Plenty of ventilation to prevent overheating problems and you barely notice the vents due to the design. CONS: None so far.

I needed a replacement modem for the one that Time Warner rented to us that needed to be reset around 3 times a day. So far this has been awsome, no resets needed yet, and much faster and reliable.

I upgraded from a dead model that is no longer supported by Comcast Xfinity to this amazing modem that brought my speed from 128Mbps up to 237Mbps. That was JUST with a modem upgrade connected wirelessly through WiFi through a Asus N router (imagine if you paired this with a AC router or better). I love it so far and would definitely buy it again

Awesome product, works perfectly with my Linksys router and I increased my speeds and range tremendously. A little expensive but great product that does the job, no issues or problems with it.

The right combination of Xfinity compliant modem, and router for fast, secure and dependable Internet functionality. Setup is quick and very easy.

Solid device. Work great and setup was easy. Works great with Linksys Velop AC6600 mesh

Great modem for Spectrum Cable. I have better speed with this than the one they provide.

Great modem. Works well and high quality. Easy to set up

Easy set up and works good. Very fast and reliable.

I wanted to upgrade my internet speeds and get rid of the monthly rental fees for lower quality hardware with my ISP. This fit my needs and has worked perfectly for the two months I've owned it.

This linksys modems works better than my comcast product. linksys makes excellent products.

The modem is exactly what we needed to upgrade. If only we could upgrade our spectrum service

I received this modem as a free sample from Linksys in exchange for my honest feedback. and this no way reflects on my decision or influenced my honest decision in any way..well with that being said, I recently upgraded my internet speeds since I had a few devices on my network and the internet was always buffering and timing out or sometimes, losing the connection. When I and was told my old modem that I was using was not compatible with the newer speed tier from my ISP and that I either replaced my modem or got another one from the cable company and luckily before I went out and purchased a new cable modem Linksys offered this cable modem as part of the friends and family program in return for my honest feedback and I couldn't be happier with this modem. Not only does it support the faster speeds offered by my ISP but no buffering or lag when playing Netflix or Hulu and it doesn't time out when trying to connect to websites like it used to. Setup was a breeze just a call to my ISP and I was up and running in minutes. So far, I have been using this for about a week and I couldn't be happier especially the fact that I am also saving money on my cable bill since NO more monthly rental of their modem.

I'll preface this by stating that I received this modem for free as a member of the Linksys Friends + Family Program in exchange for my honest feedback, and I am comparing it to both my standard Xfinity cable modem and my previous Arris Cable Modem (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/arris-surfboard-docsis-3-0-cable-modem-silver/7534146.p?skuId=7534146). If you're a subscriber to one of the major cable provider's high-speed plans (e.g., xfinity) they will have issued you a standard cable modem (for a monthly fee), and it is no doubt a terrible joke. If you're renting that modem still, buy a replacement. Any replacement. You will almost certainly see dramatic improvements in your speed and signal quality, and you will no longer be paying a premium to rent a terrible bit of technology. The Linksys CM3024 is a decent modem. It is easy to set up, seems to work without any real hiccups, and is powerful enough to give me the full benefit of my internet package. So far I've been able to hit speed test results of about 230Mbps, which is fantastic. As far as modems go, there's nothing functionally wrong with this one and you won't regret the purchase. However, I do have a couple of minor complaints. First, the form factor on this modem is less than stellar. It is more than twice as large as my Arris modem is, and sits on my shelf with all the blocky aesthetics of a Piet Mondrian painting but without the color. If you're going to put this out of sight and you have the extra space this may not be an issue for you, but it certainly bothers me. Second, the pricing point is a bit high for what you're getting. The Arris modem that I'm currently using is about $80 normally compared to the CM3024's $130; because the performance of both is more or less equal, I think it's hard to justify the cost of this product. Overall this is a fine modem that I would be happy to recommend at half the price.

I received a free sample from Linksys in exchange for my feedback. I have used this modem now (Linksys CM3024 - Docsis 3.0 Cable Modem) for over a week and it has outperformed my previous modem. My previous modem speed tests were about 125 MB download and 12 MB uploads. Now I get about 250 MB downloads and 15 MB uploads. I have about 45 devices connected to my home network (iPads, iPhones, DVRs, FireSticks, Chromecast, Apple TV, smart TVs, PS3, PS4, XBOX, Powerline Adaptors, Nexia Smart Home Automation, ADT Security, Chromebooks, PC, etc.). About 30 of those devices are constantly connected at any given time. Both my wife and I telework via VPN at least 2 days a week each. We have not encountered any connection issues. I thoroughly put the modem to test over the weekend when there were at least 5 concurrent movie streams from Netflix, Hulu, HBOGo, and VUDU. There were many WiFi enabled devices connected from guests and home users who were streaming music and playing games. I did not have to reboot or perform any maintenance on the new modem since installation. The swap out of the old modem has been transparent to my family (the end-users) and the level of difficulty to set it up was minimal. The modem also serves as a great investment since it eliminates modem rental fees from your ISP.

As a tech enthusiast, I can appreciate when someone has solved a common problem and I can take their hard work and resolve the issue. In this case, I wasn't looking to fix a known problem. I was asked by Linksys to give an honest review of the CM3024 Cable Modem given to me as a free sample. Well, here we go. I am a Brighthouse customer in the Tampa, FL area and have had no issues with their service. I owned my own modem and to the best of my knowledge, it worked flawlessly. However, there was one tiny underlying issue that seemed to bug me. I own a ChannelMaster DVR+ and when trying to access the streaming channels, I would always get lag and lots of it. I blamed ChannelMaster and their service. It couldn't be Brighthouse since every streaming device I had worked without a hitch. Without further thought, I resolved to live without using the DVR+ internet channels. About 2 weeks ago Linksys entered into the picture and asked if I would be interested in testing the CM3024 Cable Modem. I agreed to put it through its paces and had them send me the unit. Upon receiving the CM3024, I called Brighthouse tech support and provided the info to get the modem online. In about 10 minutes I was up and running. Now to see what difference if any there might be. I started testing all of my devices and streaming players, smart TVs and the such, when I remembered the DVR+ and the internet channel issues. Upon initial connection, there was the usual 5-10 second buffering, however, this time, just a solid HD stream without any instance of lag. I checked all of the channels I would want to watch and couldn't believe the issue was resolved. What was the difference you ask? It was the number of channels the modem offers. The modem I currently owned only had 8 download and 4 upload channels, while on the CM3024 there were 24 download and 8 upload channels. This is in spite of my current modem exceeding my subscribed bandwidth. Having to acquire a cable modem again, I would definitely purchase the Linksys CM3024 Cable Modem.

I received a free sample from Linksys in exchange for my feedback. I have used this modem now (Linksys - Docsis 3.0 Cable Modem) for over a week and it has outperformed my Internet providers modem overwhelmingly. I was issued a wireless modem from my provider and I have to reboot the modem 2-3 times a week, due to slow speeds and network drops. I added a Linksis wireless router ( Linksys WRT1900AC) to eliminate the wireless modem frequency from being an internal issue.It did not solve the repeated dropped connection issue's. Since using this modem, not one issue and speeds have improved 3 fold. I would highly recommend this product to anyone issued a used (rented) modem from their internet provider. Not only has it improved our internet experience, but it is saving me money on rental fee's.

I received a free sample from Linksys in exchange for my feedback. I am a Comcast Xfinity subscriber. I had already upgraded from the rental modem Comcast provided to a netgear cable modem. The new linksys modem I received was an easy setup. Very simple and only took about 10 minutes. Download speeds seem to be faster than the netgear with multiple devices seaming music and or video. Overall seems to be a good quality cable modem.
