    Supported by Xfinity, worked well out of the box. Speeds are good for what I had provisioned at the site, up to snuff. This is the second one of these I have installed (one at my own home) as i have switched from the Moto* and Arr* ones to these of late as the price has been better and so far performance has been on par.

    I recently changed my internet provider, and installed my own equipment. This is VERY easy to install and works seamlessly with the Orbi AC2200 2 pack. So happy with performance! Do not hesitate to get this. Also purchased the Best Buy extended warranty - I am all set!

    Bumped my internet speed from 100 to 300 mbps. My old modem, while reliable, had a max speed below 300. Decided to buy this modem as it was listed as being compatible with Spectrum. Hooked up the router and had the new modem activated. Speed tests are above 300 and router works great with this modem! Very happy with my purchase. Highly recommend!

I'm getting 344 on my test speed on my 300 internet plan hardwired can't complain. Also works great with my Linksys router.

    I have had this modem for about three weeks now. I am using Spectrum Cable Internet and it has been very reliable. I had no issues getting this model added to my Spectrum account and I am getting the download speeds that I am supposed to be getting, which in my case is 400 mbps downstream

    We needed to purchase a new cable modem to install a wireless WiFi. the Netgear was reasonably priced and had great reviews online. We found it was very simple to install. It's worked great in our home.

    This modem is a great modem, i purchased it in case i wanted to upgrade my internet to 500 mbps. My overall internet speed is at 225 mbps and my plan is 200 mbps. I have not had any issues with it at all and ive had it for a month already. Would definitely recommend. Oh amd one more thing, the setup this device was insanely easy.

    A necessity if you are looking to run an internet speed 300 Mbps. I saw several different options and did extensive research on all models. I couldn’t be happier with the results this modem puts out. I eventually upgraded to the CM1000 to run a higher internet speed for up to 1000 Mbps. Depending on your needs Netgear is a solid choice.

    This modem combined with Netgear's Nighthawk Routers are very good combination. I noticed a speed increase ever since I purchased a separate modem and router. It also eliminated the lag issues and signal drop which resulted to better gaming experience.

    I upgraded from a Motorola SB6141 that was no longer supported by Comcast to this Netgear modem. No more freeze ups and the need to power cycle my modem. This Netgear modem works great with my new Netgear R7000 wifi router also.

    It works with Optimum Online, and that's enough for me. Delivers speeds that are somewhat below what is advertised by Optimum Online, but I am not sure that is the MODEMs fault.

    Solid and easy to install. I compared Arris and this is much more faster. Boot up 30secsbwith no lags. Arris took 90 secs and showed lags when browsing web. Bestbuy cost more but will honor competitor price. But why not just lower it I’m the first place??? Cost you may trade in old router for 15% off. Best Buy make this marketing game.

    This is really great for the price range and I have bought some really expensive ones that has left a sour taste in my mouth due to unstable performance, but this has been solid as a rock from day one. Two huge thumbs up for this.

    Excellent Replacement for Comcast Cable Modem

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I recently downgraded my Comcast services to just internet and was looking for ways to reduce my bill even more by buying my own cable modem. After reviewing all my options, I decided on this modem for both price and the overall good reviews it has gotten. The initial set up after unplugging the Comcast modem was pretty easy. The modem only has 1 Ethernet port the cable coax in, and does not have a wifi router. I recommend hooking up a computer to the Ethernet port to set up the modem. You will then follow the instructions on the included sheet, to activate the modem with your internet service provider. Comcast took about 15 minutes to connect with the modem and install the updates it needed. You can then hook up your choice of wifi router to be able to access your internet service from anywhere in your home. I hooked up an older Belkin wifi router. I recommend not connecting anything to the router until you have it set up with the cable modem, as it seems to cause errors. Once the router is online, you should be able to reconnect all your peripherals and wifi devices to the modem. I give this modem a 5 out of 5 stars for ease of use and price. By purchasing my own modem, I am able to save $15 more a month for renting the modem from Comcast.

    Purchased this CM700 32X8 DOCSIS 3.0 modem to replace a 1 year old Arris Surfboard 32X8 DOCSIS 3.0 Modem. The Arris had failed within 1 month of purchase - which Arris replaced with (seemed like) a refurbished unit. 9 months later - still under warranty - Arris refused to replace because it was the same problem(?)!. Replaced with the Netgear cm700. Quick easy setup. Speed seems quicker. Netgear has the app to control both modem & Nighthawk router. Had 1 question & Netgear support answered quickly. Have always had good experiences with Netgear products. Only bought the Arris as it was recommended by a friend as 'better bang for the buck'. Never again. This modem paired with the Nighthawk router gives great wifi coverage throughout the 2 story home - no dead spots.
