Customer Ratings & Reviews

Modem has been working without issues for 3 months now - I've had to reboot it just once. Bought it as a replacement for my 5 or 6-year-old Arris modem which died on me at 6pm middle of the week - so had to replace urgently for WFH. This Netgear CM1000 was recommended by store associate as being top performer at reasonable price - thanks for the advice! So far no issues and supports advertised speeds.

I wanted to upgrade my cable modem and didn't want to pay rental fee's from comcast. This modem is blazing fast. I had recently upgraded my router with Netgear Orbi system and this was the perfect modem to pair with it. This was very easy to install and I was able to configure it with comcast online and didn't even have to call them to complete the install. Before installing the new modem my laptop was getting about 150mbps down and 11 up. After installing the new modem I was able to get about 170mbps down and 12 up.

I purchased this along with an Eero system to replace the Gateway from Comcast as I was getting inconsistent service. I have a gig connection and was experiencing buffering far too often with no help from Comcast. It’s very easy to install and despite the initial investment in the new equipment it works so much better with no buffering whatsoever. I have up to 15 devices working at once including TVs phones tablets and security system. Dump the Comcast equipment you will not regret it!

Easy to setup. I have Xfinity for at home internet. This modem was easy to get hooked up and have ready to go very quickly. Connected my own router to it, I am using a Eero mesh network with 2 routers and have 0 issues since I got connected. Well worth the money spent to be using my own gear. Would reccomend!

Lightning storm took out my Arris Syrfboard cable modem, I needed to get my internet back on line asap. Best Buy sales person recommended the Netgear CM 1000. so far it has worked as expected very pleased with the purchase.

I upgraded my internet speed from my cable provider (Comcast Xfinity) and my old modem was limiting me to less than half of what I was paying for in the plan. This upgraded model was exactly what I needed to get the full speed (over 200mpbs) . Easy to install and when running through the Comcast installation wizard, they recognized the modem as well. Got it up and running in 20 min or so. Only con was that it was a little more than I wanted to spend on the modem, but otherwise very happy.

I was looking for a way to save money on renting a cable modem from my provider, and I settled on this product. This has been a great modem- I currently run 400mbps download and a 40mbps upload. The only drawback that I have is it has a tendency to run hot in the power of the upstream bonded channels. This however might be a result of my cable set-up and not the modem itself. Otherwise this has been running great.

Comcast kept contacting me regarding my outdated modem, so it was time to upgrade. Since I don't like to perform incremental upgrades and I already have a great wireless access point, all I needed was the latest and greatest Docsis 3.1 modem. The Netgear 32x8 DOCSIS 3.1 modem is very fast. I was surprised at the small footprint and relatively low cost. It does generate a bit of heat, so leave some room around it so it can run cool. So far I am receiving 120% of the provisioned speed (300mb of 250mb) and I couldn't be happier!

This modem pays for itself in just 11 months and has the latest technology for a GB network. Very simple to setup and very reliable.

this modem was labled as compatible with my service provider. I had upgraded to gigabit level of service. The setup was easy on my side the service provider had to make several tweaks on their side being that the device was truly pulling the needed bandwidth but their system was being bottle necked. all got resolved and am always getting an average of 900 mbps. we can stream and work with such ease. The access point is also a Netgear product, together, WOW.

So easy to set up, offers fantastic speeds with ease of use. I called my IPS and was up and running with a new modem and new wifi service in minutes. Pair this with an equally fast router and youll have blazing fast speeds across all of your devices in your home.

This was a much needed upgrade to our LAN at home. Our modem kept crashing and is probably somewhat archaic by today’s standards (bought in 2012). Streaming is easier and now running two routers with multiple devices for a growing family. The kids will start having more requirements to play, stream, and learn online—this modem will make it much easier and faster to support their needs.

i love this modem it really pushes the limit in gathering all the bandwidth it can get, im paying for 400 MB and its giving me 480MB, thats like amazing, and it works with spectrum, but not for spectrum tv or phone, so if you have tv from spectrum then this modem wont work but if you just have internet then this is the way to go

Save the $10 per month you pay the cable company and buy this modem and your own WiFi. Easy to set up, and I get the full 800 gb connection I pay Comcast for. This also allows me to run a wire to a more central part of the home for the WiFi router, and I got a great router with better range than what I was paying monthly for from the cable company. It takes about a year before it has paid for itself in rental savings.

I am a gamer and I have found that the Modem is only giving me excellent results. We have it hooked up to comcast and we are getting the advertised 175down/5up that we bought precisely. I spent quite a bit of time researching which modem was best and this was right there at the top. I have it hooked up to a Wireless router that I bought from Best Buy. I think you will find that it is perfect. I also bought the 2 year best buy protection plan as the modem can run warm.

Busy little box! I have bulk internet at my complex and was pensive to believe ugrading my modem would make much difference. When the tech hooked their set up directly to the coax the return was 789mbps. Connected to the modem: 650mbps (Forgivable. I liken it to coralling the data, breaking its spirit, etc.).

Easy to connect. (Even easy to get Spectrum to activate--minor miracle!!!) Small, compact. Good value for price. Good communication from NETGEAR when their support is ending.

This is probably overkill for my 400mb internet connection, but my last modem kept overheating (we stream TV exclusively...and it's a lot) and I decided I needed a modem with some performance overhead. It took about 10 minutes total to get it working, including the phone call to my cable company (YMMV on that one...) Hopefully in the future I'll be able to upgrade to gigabit internet and really take advantage of the speed this is capable of.

Always love Netgear Stuff. This Modem will work with Mediacom internet. Why rent from Mediacom, this will pay for itself within the year.

It's difficult to tick all of the boxes regarding an item such as this because part of the proof of any claim of excellence is in the longevity of the device. The Quality portion of this rating is based in part, on my experience with Netgear components in general and an assessment of how 'well made' this particular unit appeared to be when I pulled it out of the box, so, check and check. The value proposition for this device comes down to a price comparison for the features offered, viewed through the lens of the quality assessment previously evaluated ; check again. Finally ease of use. Its setup was really quite easy, except, I had to contact the cable ISP to have them do the necessary cache clearing and resetting of the service configuration on their side. [ugh]. I'm not sure how much of the time spent on that process was so that they could attempt to convince me to convince my client to continue renting a modem from them, but we figured that the ROI is about 16 months or so, compared to the rental, with an expected longevity of at least twice that before we'll consider replacing it, even with inevitable technological advances between now and then. So we declined their several offers to rent. Anyway it was handled and I expect the device to live up to my experience with other Netgear devices. We're happy with it.
