Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was on the fence on buying this modem to replace an older Motorola as Netgear doesn't have the best rep in technology, but this modem works great. The set up was easy and the throughput is amazing. If you're on the fence about doing DOCSIS 3.0 or spending the money for 3.1, buy the 3.1

Our goal was to save money, purchase a modem that was compatible with our provider's service platform and had great coverage and speed. The folks at Best Buy recommended this product and I have absolutely no regrets. It was a home run for our needs!

If you don't want to rent a cable modem from your provider and like having a separate router this will get the job done. I was surprised at Netgear's quality on this I always used to buy the surfboard modems but this one works great right out of the box. I was even able to register it with Xfinity through their website rather than having to call. Best part about The purchase for me was that I had an older modem that only did DOCIS 3.0 so upgrading to a 3.1 modem actually gave me the speeds I'm paying for which is between 400 and 500 down I do wish it was a bit less expensive but worth it for a trouble free device.

I’ve always used net gear routers and they never let me down, paired with my net gear nighthawk Wi-Fi router I’ve never had faster internet speeds then wifi6. I haven’t had any connection issues and the setup process was quick and easy

I have been dragging my feet for the last year after Comcast kept emailing me my modem was not compatible with speeds I was paying for. After doing a test I notice the modem I had was 4 years old and the fastest speeds I was getting was half of what I paid for. After doing research Comcast and Att plan on rolling out Fiber internet so to purchase a future proof modem made sense since I wont have to do this in 2 years after Comcast drags it feet rolling out fiber internet. Over all the set up was easy and what was nice is if you follow the directions that Netgear gives you don't have to wait on hold with Comcast. Set up too around 8 minutes and after 15 minutes for it to reboot computer I did a speed test and was blown away how fast it was and how outdated my modem was. Might cost a little extra upfront but if you in a area that might be rolling out 3.1 internet over the next 2 to 3 years it would make sense to spend the extra few dollars and future proof you system. Last time I checked to rent a modem router combo that is 3.0 was around 10 bucks. If you trade in your old modem and get 15 percent off this will pay for it self in less then 12 months.

We bought this modem to upgrade the current one. The first one we bought was defective. We returned/exchanged it. The second one works great! Along with it, we purchased Orbi. They work terrific together! Our internet works better than ever. Fast, easy to connect, and powers multiple devices at one time.

Great DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem. Speeds are good. Looks stylish. Nothing much you can really say as long as it works. The price is a big factor in its value, much cheaper than the surfboard. Doesn't have the 2.5 Gbps capability though.

I've had this modem about a month and haven't had any issues to date. I don't use it to it's full potential but wanted to get it just in case I upgraded my speed. The shipping was extremely fast and setup was very easy. I haven't had any issues with internet cutting out at random times.

The price was great, the new speeds from upgrading were even better. Great entry point for my Mediascam internet. If you currently rent your modem from your ISP and thinking about saving a little money and looking for a great upgrade too buy this bad boy!

Solid easy setup modem, you should be able to install it yourself if you have basic tech skills. I switched from Fios to Comcast, saving almost 50 bucks a month for similar download speeds. The upload speeds aren't as fast but that doesn't mean too much for the average home user.

This cable modem is outstanding! I highly recommend it. It was easy to set up and my Internet speed has increased significantly! I definitely notice a big difference in performance since replacing my old cable modem with this one!

Sick and tired of mediocre performance from the Xfinity-supplied ‘high-end’ modem/router, I decided to purchase my own kit. This modem was easily configured on the Xfinity online setup page. Connection is very fast and super stable, I’m even achieving +10% up/download speeds over my contract plan! Very happy with the purchase.

Purchased this to handle my 1gbps connection. My cable company tried to push a 2 in 1 router on me, so I went and purchased this instead. All my gear is netgear including wifi routera. Works flawlessly. Never drops connection. Not sure if it automatically updates the router to most up to date firmware. Very happy with the product.

Great modem and router combo. Easy to set up and way fast that Spectrum issued modem and router.

This Netgear-Nighthawk Cable modem replaced my 3 yr old ARRIS - SURFboard 32 x 8 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem - after experiencing intermittent drops in service for last 5 months and having ruling out my ISP and router as not being the cause. Upon installing this new modem upon recommendation from Astound ISP technician the problem has ceased and now have returned to stable internet. Speed is same as before and the unit is sleek and has small foot print on my entertainment furniture. Very quiet and light is not distracting and due angled face not pointing at you if in a highly visible area like mine is. This works w/ many ISPs but best to confirm w/ your before installing to avoid returns. My max speed is 1 GB so this one fits the bill as it is 1GB rated and delivers as promised.

We needed a replacement modem for our Cox internet. After doing some research, I knew we needed a DOCSIS 3.1. This was reasonable, works with our Google mesh wifi, and is easy to set-up. If you have a lot of devices in your home, I would recommend this modem.

I chose another products first and tried it out. Had multiple installation and setup issues. Talked with the Cox tech support and they recommended this manufacturer and model. Setup was easy and performs as advertised. Very happy with this selection, wish it was my first option I chose.

We were having slow internet Had Comcast come out and although some was a wiring issue, the modem we had was shot. I did my research and decided on this modem. Now getting speeds of 250+ MB’s/sec. This does not have Wi-Fi attached so you need a separate router with WiFi if that’s your goal. Easy to set up too

It's compatible with my ISP's connectivity standards and allows for the maximum speed possible

I bought this modem because i have multiple people streaming off of one internet line. The docsis 3.1 has far more lanes of traffic then my previous modem. We have far less time buffering. Happy with the purchase and all of my previous netgear networking hardware has lasted years. Im sure this will be the same.
