Customers are positive about the product's impressive speed, strong performance, and overall ease of use, including its simple setup and seamless connection. They also appreciate its compatibility, DOCSIS 3.1 support, and affordable price, noting that it operates without lag and stays cool. However, customers are negative about the limited number of ethernet ports and, for some, the signal strength.

    Handles high speed cable internet like a dream, had to exchange mine because I upgraded to fiber internet recently the only warning that I have is this modem does run on the warm side so keep it in a well ventilated area.

    After installing the CM 1000 Modem, I noticed a 5Mbps increase on the 2.4 Ghz channel. Also, I'm future proofing my internet connection with DOCis 3.1.

    New Modem and new router improves speeds

    Bought the NETGEAR DOCSIS 3.1 to replace an older slower modem. I didn't see much difference till I researched and replaced my old router. The combination of the new modem and router (reviewed later) has made a huge difference. We can now be online or streaming with several different units with no issues. When I tested my download speeds from Xfinity it showed they had improved by 4 or 5 times. Phones , laptops, and desktop all worked much faster.
