    For Xfinity, it just works!

    Plug into your coaxial outlet and activate your connection with Xfinity is very easy with this modem and will maximize bandwidth due to the DOCSIS 3.1 specification. Appreciate the fact an ethernet cable is included with the product. One thing great about this modem is that you can combine it with a Nighthawk RAX80 WiFi 6 router via ethernet and experience multi-gig internet speeds.

    Can’t beat Nighthawk! We already had a Nighthawk wireless router. The speed on this new router is crazy fast! The router our tv and internet provider had us using was crap. Our signal would drop constantly. We haven’t lost any signal since and my gaming has had no glitches in signal. I will always use Nighthawk routers!

    If you have Spectrum and at least their 200 mb service but are still using an old docsis 3.0 modem, you need this one! 3.1 compliant and solid! Highly recommend!

    Recently purchased this 2 GB modem from Netgear. Set up was fairly simple. The most difficult thing was connecting to Comcast and trying to get them to recognize the router as being on boarded. Since then the speed has been exceptional. The modem is well recognized during speed test and it is communicating very well with the Netgear Orbi Wi-Fi mesh network I purchased along with this.

    I purchased this modem because my cable provider stated that my previous modem could be outdated even though it had the capability of meeting the speeds for the plan I purchased. So instead of renting a cable modem I decided to purchase this one. I am thoroughly pleased with the results and speeds. Having an 32x8 modem made a huge difference in conjunction with my eeros mesh WiFi system.

    Thus far the modem has met every expectation. I have "Gigabit" internet (which of course is never as fast as advertised) and with the modem I have achieved 850+ Mbs. Easy set up also. Note: Does not include ANY Wi-FI and is JUST a modem. That's all it's advertised as, but wanted to make that clear.

    Suddenlink told me that I would need a better modem if I wanted faster speed so I got this one. I have had it for a little less than a month but it is working great. I have not one complaint. My internet is internet fast

    Just upgraded my Comcast internet to 1 gig, and our old modem wasn’t cable of delivering what we needed. All my switches in the house are NETGEAR, and we’ve had zero issues with them. So we decided to go with the CM1200 because it is capable of multi Gig speeds for future upgrades. Installation and set up were super easy. Very happy with our purchase.

    I wanted a Modem-Router Combo with the latest DOCSIS 3.1 and Wi-Fi 6 technology. The NIGHTHAWK CAX80 met the technical requirements. Installing the CAX80 wasn't as easy as advertised. I could not 'self activate' thru the Web. The Nighthawk Smartphone App can be used to setup WiFi, but does not setup Modem. My cable company is Spectrum. I've had my internet account with them (including their predecessor Time-Warner and RoadRunner) for more than 20 years. Their customer service is excellent--once you get a live person. They performed diagnostics and said the modem was working. However, I could not connect to the internet. They gave me a direct number to Netgear, and I called for assistance. Within minutes my modem-router was working perfectly. They are remarkably competent. The Wi-Fi signal is stronger and more constant without fluctuation than my older modem-router. No pauses or buffering when watching streaming video movies. The Netgear advertising is accurate and reliable. So is the performance. I am well pleased and highly recommend this router.

    I bought this because my old router was not producing enough throughout. I am getting a larger bandwidth, but I had to reset the router several times. I also had to reconnect my repeater several times. It has not disconnected from my routers. I would say this is a good modem. I didn’t want the modem and router integrated into one device and this serves this purpose.

    I currently use one of these routers and they are very reliable and fast. I recently purchased a second home and didn't want to pay monthly modem fees so thought this would be a great service. However, Cox in my new area uses fiber optic cable to achieve 1GB upload/download speeds so I had to use their unique modem vs a cable modem.

    I was kind of shocked how easy it was to setup. Just follow the prompts. Navigating around the user interface took a few to get used to, but once you did, it is smooth sailing. Had this over a month now and have not had any trouble with it. It just keeps on going without any problems. I am glad I went with NETGEAR. This product was solid and worth the price.
