    Bought this modem to replace a cable company rental. Setup was so easy. One call to the cable provider and it was up and running on the first try. Good stable connection, and at the speed I am paying for.

    Works as described. My old Docsis 3.0 surfboard had gone from 100 mg down to 27ish. Called my local provider (Carolina Mtn Cablevision who are awesome BTW), got it provisioned with MAC address and was back on 100 mg in 3 minutes! its been 4 weeks and ive never had to reboot it.

    Hooks up very easily just takes a matter of seconds and it probably works but you need to know right up front that it needs to have a router with it so that’s one other thing you have to buy or you have to get a modem router combination watch cost almost $300

    This is a great cable modem for anyone that has high speeds such as 1gig download. This works perfectly fine with lower speeds as well but for my purchase I got it because Mediacom requires Docsis 3.1 for their internet.

    I recently upgraded my Xfinity plan to gigabit internet and this modem has delivered blazing performance combined with my Nighthawk AX8 Wi-Fi router with 37 devices connected. I can stream 4K movies on three TV's simultaneously with no strain. The initial setup by connecting and activating through the Xfinity website did not work. I had to talk to Xfinity support and they were great in setting it up manually from their end in about 10 minutes. As other have said, the ports on the back are deceiving and Netgear's documentation could be better. Only 1 port is usable, the other are for link aggregation and an additional internet address if you have more than one service.

    This cable modem does the job and was compatible with my cable service. It was essentially plug and play. Called my provider with the two numbers listed on the modem, and in about five minutes was up and running. Buy with confidence!

    Super easy to set up and use. Buying this not only saved us our monthly rental fee, it made our internet work so much faster. Just make sure to call your cable provider before you try to replace theirs. If you have a big house, buy the Google extenders and use with this.

    I’m confident in Netgear’s reputation and was pleased with my purchase. Set up was a breeze. The modem works very well and my internet runs smoothly. I wasn’t happy with the price jump of the 3.1 but it’s necessary for faster speed and oh well. I’m still very happy with my purchase.

    Use with Xfinity gig speed internet and have faster speeds than the gig speed modem/ router I was previously renting from Xfinity. Easily saving over $100 a year in rental fees. Will pay for itself in two years and expect it to last a lot longer given the multi-gig speed capabilities. Also purchased a Netgear Nighthawk AX6 router, which is great for WiFi 6, but in hindsight wish I would have purchased the AX8 or above router to support the link aggregation feature of this cable modem.
