Customer Ratings & Reviews

It supports gigabit speeds, even if we only get 70% of that in our area. Saves us a bundle on modem rental fees and can use our own networking hardware with it. Easy to setup, connect, and get going. Still going strong a year later and expect to keep using it several more.

My old modem used to give me a lot of issues using Comcast's Gigabit Internet, despite being DOCSIS 3.1 compliant. This modem has been a great replacement for my old modem. Speeds are right where they should be, and the installation was quick and easy. With my old modem, I had to spend hours just trying to get in contact with a real human at Comcast to "activate" the modem - with this one, all you do is follow the included instructions, which will guide you to an online portal. The less time I spend talking to Comcast support, the better :) My local Best Buy was incredibly quick to fulfill the order and there was excellent customer service, especially considering the current limitations due to COVID-19.

Easy set up, good documentation and excellent speed.

I’ve had this for over a year now and it’s a set and forget type of device no issues whatsoever. Also beats paying your internet provider a device rental fee every month!

This modem worked perfectly with xfinity cable. My connection was trouble free.

I use Xfinity only for high speed internet. I was having issues acheving my rated speed with Xfinity, and when they wanted to upgrade my modem with a huge monstrosity that also handled VOIP and TV, I decided to by my own cable modem that did JUST what I wanted and did it well...internet! Did research on BB site as well as online and decided upon the Netgear CM1000 as it was future-resistant (I do not use the term future-proof as the future is unpredictable). Teamed with my Linksys EA9500 WiFi router, my internet really flies. No problem installing, just follow the instructions and app and it fired up right away. In fact, I found out that Xfinitiy bumped my speed after the speed tests showed over 200 Mbps. Just make sure that your cable company takes your 'lease fee' when you turn in your old equipment.

For the price, this modem is great. It will work with any major cable company, since it supports DOCSIS 3.0 and 3.1. Worked right out of the box, and looks good on my desk. Configuring it is easy, and it plays well with my Orbi router.

This modem replaced my internet service provider's cable tv router/modem w/voice that had the been reduced to just a modem for the internet over the last few years as I eliminated the other services. Then I realized that I was not getting anywhere near the download speeds (250Mbps) I was paying for and knew it wasn't because of an overburdened router/modem or my Netgear R7800 X4S router. So I replaced the router/modem with the CM1000 and lo and behold happy days were here again! My expected download speed was not only achieved but exceeded as well on some days! Setup was a breeze even though I still checked in with my provider just to make sure everything was as it was suppose to be. The CM1000 coupled with my R7800 does not only satisfy my needs presently but will also do so if I need to make the jump to 1Gbps download speeds in the future. I certainly do recommend the CM1000 to anyone who desires "the need for speed"!

Super fast, easy set up....After dealing with the nonsense of AT&T, this smokes the "less than optimal" equipment I was required to pay for monthly with them. Haven't had to reset in over my first 6 weeks of use...Unlike aforementioned firm where I was having to reset every two days...

Needed an updated Netgear switch for a longer time. Earlier I was using Netgear router+switch combo but was not up to the speed capabilities I needed so decided to go ahead with this since I already have router mesh setup. Setting this was real easy and took less than 15 mins from unboxing to using wifi connection through this new switch. Works seamlessly with existing router mesh network. No issues since. Highly recommend!!!

After an increase in speed by my Internet provider my previous Linksys CM3024 wasn't quite up to handling the speed increase. Of course Comcast/XFINITY wanted me to rent their modem/router combo but less than stellar reviews brought me to this product. It is Comcast approved and install was a breeze. Speeds jumped from 150 to 300+ download. One setback for a number of Comcast customers is those that want to use a wireless set top box for secondary televisions or the use of XFINITY Home Security "must" use XFINITYS modem/router. I call that a "Gotcha". No surprise however as providers want every penny they can get. As far as this Netgear Modem it is a 10+ and I highly recommend it. Not a single problem or issue. Rock Solid.

I decided go with this Netgear modem along with a TP-Link Deco X60 WiFi Mesh system. I love that router pays itself off in under a year, and its equipment that I own. It works great with my mesh system. In 2 months j have no had a dropped connection. When I called Comcast to activate the new modem and remove the XB7 (I pay for a 1Gbp/s plan) gateway they provided, the tech on the phone asked why I didn’t want to use their equipment. Are you kidding me!? I explained to him how it was a no brainer. It basically saves you money in the long run and gives you much better control of the router’s settings. Make sure if you already have 1Gb/s that the modem your purchase is DOCSIS 3.1. A 3.0 modem will the allow that kind of bandwidth. The way I see it, saving $15 bucks a month for renting useless equipment is $15 bucks I can put towards upgrading to super fast internet. Owning the equipment is an added bonus! Oh and the Xfinity WiFi range is nothing compared to my new mesh system. It covers every corner of my 6000sqft house, where the Xfinity gateway needed extenders. And I refuse to pay Comcast for those ridiculous xPods.

Very affordable with the new DOCSIS 3.1 standard, and so worth the money. No connectivity issues, lagging, or speed issues whatsoever. Easy to set up and customize and getting well over 200mbps hardlined directly to PS4 and Smart TV. Best Modem I have purchased

The router is pretty expensive but well worth the price. My Internet is fast and reliable. This modem in combination with the Nighthawk router produces super fast speeds. Streaming downloading and uploading is a breeze. I'm very happy with this modem.

This router has worked out quite well. It started with an easy setup process and with a few resets over the first week has been working reliably. My service is at the 250 megabit level but I have consistently been getting speeds slightly above.

I replaced an older Surfboard 6141 with this Netgear CM1000 32x8 modem. I was not getting the internet speed I was entitled to with my ISP provider of 250Mbs. I was having frequent loss of connection issues during Zoom calls with multiple participants with my old modem and now the connection issues have stopped. The setup and connection of the new modem with my ISP was easy and the signal and speed is solid. I am using a older Netgear AC1750 router and I am getting over 275 Mbs speed now on a consistent basis. Very satisfied so far.

Easy installation, hasn't had a problem since purchase, and plenty fast. When Xfinity said my old modem couldn't deliver the faster speeds they provided, I went with this model and have not been disappointed.

Was having issues with internet dropping intermittently. Had to replace my modem, researched and found this at a reasonable price with everything I needed. After having my provider, Optimum, install their codes this works flawlessly. I only wish it had more than 1 ethernet port.

It works and let’s you avoid a monthly rental fee. It doesn’t get too warm, doesn’t reboot unnecessarily, the data stream is reliable, and it delivers about 960Mbps on Xfinity Gigabit.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, I am teaching all of my college courses over the net with Zoom. My ISP's supplied modem/router was constantly kicking me off and and breaking down during classes. I bought this CM1000 Nighthawk and WOW! Installation was pretty darn easy via a phone app. I scheduled one full day to make sure I could get this set up. It took about 45 minutes. The speed increased immediately and the my internet connection NEVER DROPS!!! I paired this modem with the NetGear AC1750 router. What a combination. Now I can get super speeds anywhere in our home. Love this!
