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!

Solid Cable Modem- Pays for itself

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

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.

I finally purchase a cable modem several months ago and discontinued renting from Comcast so I don't have to pay a monthly rental fee. I was very please with the performance of this cable modem. It has been running very smoothly for all my connected devices. The cable modem was very easy to set up and the instructions was very easy to follow. I couldn't be more happier with this purchase.

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.
