Customer Ratings & Reviews

I only wish that I had made the switch sooner, for the first time I am actually getting what I paid for in regards to my Internet speed, to tell you the truth it seems to be a little bit faster. I haven't needed to reset or reboot my modem yet since I changed over from the Xfinity gateway. I am a paralyzed veteran so my whole house is smart and I really rely on technology, previously I was resetting xfinitys Gateway three times a day just to get my plan speed or so that it would actually work. Now I am no longer paying Xfinity rent for a piece of junk that doesn't work. The speed from this modem and my wireless router together absolutely crush what I was getting before. I have had zero issues I totally recommend making the switch, you have to remember if you have a voice plan you need to get a modem with voice or you will lose your deal even if you do not use the phone. This is the obvious choice.

When Comcast informed me that my Arris 25 modem could no longer handle the faster download speeds that my system is now capable of, I jumped on the deal to purchase this recommended modem along with a generous trade-in on the old Arris 25. The transaction was handled smoothly by the Best Buy staff. In addition, the interest-free financing is a nice touch. Thanks!

Modem setup went smoothly. Excellent speed and connectivity. It is approved by Comcast/Xfinity which can be helpful if they are your provider.

Super fast, quiet, stays relatively cool, very efficient. No wifi capabilities, however that provides the perfect reason to combine with the NETGEAR Nighthawk AX1800 Router Mesh wifi system. I am averaging 400+ mbps down and 40+ up. No drops, no glitches so far. I love the reliability of the combination.

I purchased this to finally say goodbye to Xfinity’s XB6 and the $13.00 a month lease fee. This modem pairs very nicely with the Orbi 6 system. It has been stable and speeds are what they are supposed to be. Speed from my Orbi are fast! See my attached photo. Speed at my old computer I averages about 934 down and 40 up, so no complaints. VoIP works fine as well. Highly recommended if your on Xfinity and using your own Wi-Fi router.

Very easy to set up, and now I don’t have to pay the $15 per month modem rental fee from Xfinity. Note that you will have to download the Xfinity App on your phone or call tech support at Xfinity to get the modem online. I chose to use the App, and it was a smooth and simple process. The modem is more than capable to handle Xfinity’s high speeds and voice service that I subscribe too. I’m very happy with this cable modem and it performs flawlessly.

I am very pleased with my new NETGEAR - Nighthawk Modem that I purchased at Best Buy. It was easy to set up and it has far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it if you are looking to replace an old Modem.

It's a perfectly fine modem but if you are expecting to use phones with it you won't get very far with Comcast/Xfinity. I added a phone line to my plan but got nowhere with it. They don't actually support it. They don't even know what it is. I ended up cancelling Xfinity. Today is my last day on Xfinity, at midnight. I will be considering a return, since Google Fiber doesn't use cable modems.

Works perfect for Xfinity Gig speed internet with phone service. Fast, stable and reliable. Set up was also quick and easy. No more monthly rental fee.

This device one of a few capable of delivering Xfinity high speed internet. This one requires a separate router for home Wi-Fi but the additional cost is worth it for the speed. FYI Check your Xfinity package. Most cable modems are not capable of the current day delivery speeds they sell you. Find out what you have and update your equipment. Bought the ASUS AX5400 as my router. Powerful combination.

Bought this even though I had the earlier version(CM1150V) and was able to link 2 ports to supposedly get full 1.2G downloads with the linked ports. Well, before with the linked ports, I was averaging 1100 Mbps. Now, I'm consistently testing at 1400 Mbps. Tests are run on my router and not through Xfinity's site. So, pretty sure they aren't fudging me there.

Yes the title says excellent and it is. Very few issues setting it up. Switching from one modem to this one. It wouldn’t connect at first. About 10-15 minutes later and I was up and running. Noticeably more stabil. Would recommend.

The router broke on us after less that two months of use. When Netgear replaced it, the replacement looked like it was refurbished because the parts on the router looked different from the original one. I told Netgear about this but they assured the replacement router is brand new. After 6 months after using the replacement it starts to go out on us and 3 of the lights on the router now have went out completely!

Upgraded to this modem because Xfinity told me that the throughput that they're sending my old modem cant handle. Now I have fester speeds.

The modem works well and gets high speeds, but it's no better than the CM 1150V that replaced it. I see no actual speed difference with it, though Xfinity sent me an e-mail saying that I wasn't getting the full speeds that my account allows. This modem was over a hundred dollars more than the 1150V, so not really worth it unless you're coming from something slower. Pictures attached show the 1150V slightly faster than the 2050V. Also, setup took over an hour with a tech via chat, the "easy self setup" did not work for me, it didn't work for the old modem either. Make sure to test the phone line after setting up, too, the tech got the internet part working but it took longer to get the phone line working. And getting through to a person at Xfinity on the phone is a trick I haven't mastered yet.

Installation was very easy. Netgear Customer service was great and knowledgeable.

Advertising says compatibility with Xfinity, but shortly after installing I had internet outages and received an email from Xfinity that Netgear was having software compatibility issues with Comcast. This is misleading and false advertising.

I’m very happy with this voice/data modem from Netgear. It is the only product that they sell that is compatible with Comcast’s phone and internet. It was very easy to setup on my own, but eventually I did have to call Comcast to re-provision the modem, because my phone stopped working later that night. It’s been working great ever since then. I know that this modem is certified to work with Comcast, but I’m not sure if it will work with other providers, so make sure you check before you buy it!

A great option if you want to stop paying your internet and landline phone service provider the ridculous monthly fee they will charge you forever to rent their unit. It will take a little less than 2 years for me to recover the cost of this device by not renting one. This one is up to date to support some of the fastest internet speeds today, so it should last a long time. It was extremely easy to setup, basically just plug and play, and then use my service providers app to register it with them. Stop renting a modem and get this one today!

Gigabit speeds and voice. That is why I purchased this device and it has NOT been a disappointment. My connectivity and speeds surpassed the rental modem/router combo that my ISP provided. No more monthly fees and I am free to surf without jitters, freezing, crashes, etc. The app and online support from NETGEAR are industry standards for both Home and Home Office needs. I highly recommend considering this device as part of your high-speed internet with voice network hardware.
