    Fantastic Cable Modem

    The setup was a breeze. Connected the cable modem, followed the simple instructions, Bingo. No fuss, no muss! The cable modem is fast, I saw a speed increase from my previous modem, and it has not dropped the connection since I installed it.

    Purchased this to replace my "free" router provided to me by my ISP, as I was tired of dealing with cheap products that stop working properly every 6 - 12 month. This thing is an absolute beast, and despite some issues with my ISP getting it activated is definitely worth the money (so far.) Of course if it gives out as quickly as the free ones from my ISP my tune may change, but I'm for now going to assume it will last longer simply based on the apparent quality and efficiency of the product as it stands now vs other modems I've had.

    I am currently getting over 150 Mbps on Comcast, and this modem has room for more. I have been using this for almost a year now and with my Nighthawk router, I think I have had to restart the modem and router maybe once.

    I didn't know what to expect, I have 1000 mbps service and thought this was what I needed to get up to speed, I spent many hours waiting as a computer tech hired by netgear worked on getting me set up. This is the first time I ever bought a modem and router separate and I didn't gain anything except a bunch of headaches.

    The modem is quiet, not hot, and plugs right in. No issues with COX gigablast support. You have to call COX to sync it up, but that is needed for any new modem. I'm happy with the purchase.

    Nice high speed modem! We had it on Spectrum 400 service and it ran about 450-460 every day I ran a speed test! Solid, consistent modem! Would highly recommend!

    Dropped cable. Kept the WiFi only. Needed a new modem as I didn’t want to rent the cable service modem. I already had a router. Easy to install. I’m a 69 yr old woman with a clue. All is good.

    I have Xfinity because they monopolize the area. But this works as it should. Port speed is 930mps down and I dont know the upload maybe 60mbps. This is with 1gb internet. So I am sure this thing could handle as it states.

    I didn't realize at first that I was renting my modem from my cable company, but once I did I'd found out about the Netgear 32 x 4 and got rid of my cable companies modem. I'm very pleased with the performance. This modem however does not have a phone jack if your looking to use your home phone.

    Works wonders! Be sure to talk with your ISP to register in their network so you can use it properly. The speeds I am getting is on or near the expected speed that I am paying for!

    Easy to install. perfect for my new 1 gig internet speed. I originally purchased the Arris surfboard sb8200 and it had nothing but problems. I exchanged it for my netgear and I've been happy ever since!
