Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am not a techy. I wanted a modem that would satisfy download and upload speeds for the foreseeable future. I wanted a modem that was already well received from other purchasers. I wanted a fair price and I wanted a modem which had a straightforward setup. The Netgear CM1000 delivers. I am more than satisfied and wholeheartedly recommend it.

Very easy to set up and very dependable signal. Increased my internet speed considerably. I ended up returning this only because Comcast gave me a free Modem/Router when I upgraded my Internet plan.

No need to rent a modem from Xfinity when this more than does the job

Replacing my older Netgear modem that was getting overwhelmed by the Xfinity internet speed increases plus it would lose connection too much. This one is much more stable and able to handle the higher speeds.

There's not much to say... This modem does what it says it will do. Speeds are excellent. Installation is easy. Activation is fairly painless (provided you get a savvy service rep when calling your ISP). Best of all: the lights on the face aren't obscenely bright (a common complaint with a competing modem).

This cable modem works fantastically and pairs up great with the Netgear Router. Very, very satisfied with these units!

After experiencing a sudden death of my 2-year old modem, I went searching for a stable modem with a good reputation. And I found it! With a number of devices accessing the wireless router, I needed a stable modem to keep everything running. Set up was easy and straight forward. I couldn't be more happy with the performance of this Netgear modem.

Wow, fast modem. It will handle pretty much anything you need. If you have a static IP address with Sparklight you will need to get one that is wireless but other than that, it's a great buy. Maybe the "Best Buy" ;-)

Lightning storm took out my Arris Syrfboard cable modem, I needed to get my internet back on line asap. Best Buy sales person recommended the Netgear CM 1000. so far it has worked as expected very pleased with the purchase.

Saw immediate speed increase when I installed this modem. Easy to set up and get working. Great upgrade so far.

I was on the fence on buying this modem to replace an older Motorola as Netgear doesn't have the best rep in technology, but this modem works great. The set up was easy and the throughput is amazing. If you're on the fence about doing DOCSIS 3.0 or spending the money for 3.1, buy the 3.1

I have been dragging my feet for the last year after Comcast kept emailing me my modem was not compatible with speeds I was paying for. After doing a test I notice the modem I had was 4 years old and the fastest speeds I was getting was half of what I paid for. After doing research Comcast and Att plan on rolling out Fiber internet so to purchase a future proof modem made sense since I wont have to do this in 2 years after Comcast drags it feet rolling out fiber internet. Over all the set up was easy and what was nice is if you follow the directions that Netgear gives you don't have to wait on hold with Comcast. Set up too around 8 minutes and after 15 minutes for it to reboot computer I did a speed test and was blown away how fast it was and how outdated my modem was. Might cost a little extra upfront but if you in a area that might be rolling out 3.1 internet over the next 2 to 3 years it would make sense to spend the extra few dollars and future proof you system. Last time I checked to rent a modem router combo that is 3.0 was around 10 bucks. If you trade in your old modem and get 15 percent off this will pay for it self in less then 12 months.

This modem is great! I have no issues at all. Easy to install.

We bought this modem to upgrade the current one. The first one we bought was defective. We returned/exchanged it. The second one works great! Along with it, we purchased Orbi. They work terrific together! Our internet works better than ever. Fast, easy to connect, and powers multiple devices at one time.

Excellent. Works great stay connected and great coverage

This was on sale and with the 15% coupon from the recycle and save program, it was even more affordable. This modem is fast and activation with Spectrum was super easy.

Sick and tired of mediocre performance from the Xfinity-supplied ‘high-end’ modem/router, I decided to purchase my own kit. This modem was easily configured on the Xfinity online setup page. Connection is very fast and super stable, I’m even achieving +10% up/download speeds over my contract plan! Very happy with the purchase.

Purchased this to handle my 1gbps connection. My cable company tried to push a 2 in 1 router on me, so I went and purchased this instead. All my gear is netgear including wifi routera. Works flawlessly. Never drops connection. Not sure if it automatically updates the router to most up to date firmware. Very happy with the product.

I've had this modem about a month and haven't had any issues to date. I don't use it to it's full potential but wanted to get it just in case I upgraded my speed. The shipping was extremely fast and setup was very easy. I haven't had any issues with internet cutting out at random times.

I’ve always used net gear routers and they never let me down, paired with my net gear nighthawk Wi-Fi router I’ve never had faster internet speeds then wifi6. I haven’t had any connection issues and the setup process was quick and easy
