    Time Warner is upgrading Maxx in Raleigh area, and this cable modem supports the 16 dl x 4 ul channels to achieve the fastest speeds that they are upgrading to. Netgear modems are easy to hookup, and have the best prices.

    250Mbps of bliss

    I knew I needed a 16 channel downstream MODEM for my 250Mbps connection. MODEM are pretty simple, you make sure you have enough channels to cover your speed or you may limit the speed of your connection. Xfininity installed my system and other than a hiccup where I had to have it re-authorized in their system it's worked without problem and i'm getting the expected speed i'm paying for. I've subtracted a star for a couple of nitpicky things. 1. There is no way to mount this to a wall and while that may sound silly I have my network homerun to a closet and wall mounting would be the easiest way to keep it out of the way. 2. It's very lightweight and plasticky so it's easy for the cable to pull the MODEM off of it's base and the glossy plastic shows fingerprints too easily. Summary: A solid piece of networking equipment. No frills casing but ultimately I can deal with that.

    The product is firing on all cylinders. COX was nagging me to move up from DOCSIS 2.0 so this is a little better than the minimum required to do that. It hasn't required any reboots since it was installed. There have been two things that bugged me. 1) The activation URL for COX in the user manual is wrong. It is no fault of Netgear that the activation process, once I found the URL, was a hassle. 2) The previous modem had a button on top that allowed me to in effect pause the modem, which I find valuable during intervals where the house is unoccupied. I didn't demerit for this because it is possible to find this out before purchase.

    I replace my ISP's modem with this one because of the problems I was having with my wifi at home. Since installation of this modem I have had no problems and my wifi is much faster and more reliable.

    This modem, made a huge difference in my connection speed with Comcast, compared to the original leased Comcast modem. The main difference is the ability to use and combine more channels at once, while the other Comcast modem only uses 2. Speedtest.net indicated that my connection speed went from approx. 120Mbps to over 154Mbps.

    Switched out cable modem provided by mediacom-trash. Went from sluggish 4mbps to over 70 mbps just like that. Pay for 100 and get there quite a bit. Easy to install, works great.

    I researched modems before buying and this model had really good reviews plus great price. It was easy to setup but I don't like the light indicators because they are way too small.
