    Great high level modem that consistently gets me 800-900 mbps. I have WOW internet service with the 1 gig plan. Have not had any problems and fully recommend this product. I have paired it with a Netgear Orbi router. Both work seamlessly.

    Compatible with the next gen modem and network technology this router should be good and relevant for some years to come. I find that it works faster than the renter Comcast router I was using. The only issue I had was that the coax cable I was using that came with the original Comcast router didn’t screw on very well and I kept losing service with just hand tightening. It made me think there was something wrong with the router then I checked and realized what was the problem. I then used a wrench to tighten it about 10 inch-pounds and from there I no longer had an issue. So just keep in mind that for whatever reason it’s possible that the original Comcast cable connectors need to be fastened a bit more securely on these modems. Otherwise this has been great and it just works well! Great modem!

    I was having trouble with the supplied XFinity cable modem. After three of their modems, each one with issues I picked up this Netgear Nighthawk Cable Modem. The Netgear was easier to install than XFinity supplied modem and was much faster.

    Very good Gigabit modem

    This is a great modem (not a router, and does not have wifi in it, just saying :) )! I bought a few before since I recently changed my internet plan to gigabit service and when I tested with this one - it was performing better than others I bought. This one is a keeper. The only thing I need to figure out is how to use other ports on it lol. I hear that some people can use them w/o opening another IP, where others state you have to get another IP. No one knows. I called and opened a ticket with Netgear to figure this out, but, that is not an issue or deal-breaker. I love that it is bigger in size, which means, more cooling. All ports are 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports. Overall - great modem for a great price!

    A major improvement from my previous 3.0 modem. Since I had already installed a MESH system, I did not need the wireless feature of my old modem either. The response is a faster and reliable system throughout my home. One quick call to the cable company and I was up and running in minutes.

    Super fast. Replaced older modem. Running a lot through the house. I have had to rest it just once so far since purchase date vs the old modem and spectrums garbage modems. Well worth the investment

    Super fast set up. I was told that my cable company usually takes 30 minutes to activate a modem. This one was activated and ready in 5 minutes. I can already see a stronger and faster result.

    Finally had to upgrade from our previous Motorola DOCSIS 3.0 modem. I wish we had done it earlier, this one is so much faster and more or less future proof. Was a drop-in recommended replacement on the Cox network.

    I was able to increase my speed and reliability when I upgraded from my previous version of the Nighthawk. I couldn't update the one I had anymore and this one was cheaper than my old one when I bought it.

    This works great! No issues so far, this is must-need item for Cox gigablast wifi speeds that’s why we upgraded, my only complaint is that there isn’t a wifi and router combo like the lower speed ones.

    I was having repeated issues with the modem/router from my ISP, so I bought this modem and a NetGear Orbi Mesh system. Everything was easy to set up, and so far, a month and a half in, everything is working great!

    Out internet was acting out. We tried everything nothing would connect. We even called the internet guys to come out and they said everything was fine. Come to find out the wire connected to this don’t know which one, sorted out the old router. After getting this one our internet has been so much better and faster. We love it!

    Paired this modem with a Nighthawk router and seen speeds higher by 100 mbps down (700) than what I'm paying for 600 mbps down. No more lag in games online. Worth the money. Netgear very good company.
