Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was bought after 2 linksys modems failed. It so far has out performed the linksys units in speed. Only time will tell if it holds up. My linksys modems only ran three to four months. So far it is working fine.

This is a nice modem and for the service I have, it works great. First time connected to the ISP, it had to install firmware three time, three versions. Once done, it works as needed.

V useful, fast and easy to setup Router by a reputed company - Netgear. Use it as cable modem router replacement or repeater with it's handy management console.

Good modem. Fast and reliable. Easy to setup. Netgear is a good brand.

For some reason I run through modems faster than most. This is the third one so far this year. I seem to be living in a lightning prone house. So I bought this it was not to expensive and it seems to be working fine.

There are 4 adults in my house, one of whom works from home online, each with many many WiFi devices. Our internet has been fast with this modem, and we haven’t had any issues with it for the past year we’ve had it.

Purchased this modem to replace cable company equipment that was always having problems. We have multiple devices (computers, televisions, tablets, nest, wemo) all running with no speed issues now. It has worked very well for our household.

My old modem wasn't working great so it was time to buy a new one. I got a good deal on this one and so far it has been working great. In my house there are always multiple people streaming movies and playing games online at the same time and so far we haven't had any problems.

Works great. we bought this when we decided to go streaming only and drop cable. We did not want to pay a rental to them either. works great and never have any issues.

My experience with the NETGEAR CM500 has been excellent, so far. I’ve had the product for approximately 3 months. I have to say it is worth it, to give the Comcast equipment back to them! Yeah!!!! It saves me $120.00 yearly.

Good item worked really well in my home space. Very powerful

to date this has been an acceptable replacement for the modem from the isp. once I contacted the provider that I had the modem they sent the activation bullet and I and my family have been surfing ever since. getting flash.com readings of between 55 and 78 and that is from a wireless connected device. :)

This new modem is triple the speed that our previous modem is rated. To me a rating is only as good as the paper it is written upon. I ran multiple test to confirm and the modem was actually greater than triple...up to 169 Mbs. Very pleased.

First purchase of a modem. Decided not to pay a monthly rent fee to the cable company any longer and purchased the Netgear model based upon the Best Buy salesman’s advice and I am extremely happy with it.

Works good have no issues reasonably priced well worth the money

Great modem, connected to ROG wireless Router. I game all day no issues.

Bought it to replace my very old reliable Netgear. installed it in no time.

Works well so far. Have had no slowing problems in my cable internet speeds - getting the max speed from my 50-60Mbps connection. Can't speak for higher speeds, although I would have no problem using this modem for a faster connection.

Booted out AT&T DSL and hired Time Warner Cable for Internet service. This modem came right up, connected to TWC's network, I logged in and away I went. Plugged into my apple AirPort Extreme and no runs, drips or errors for over a month.

Two years into ownership and it's still doing its thing just fine. It's more than paid for itself at this point--no modem rental fees. Easy install too with Comcast. It's good gear.
