Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Have had 0 issues with my internet after switching to this modem. Way better than a ISO provided modem.

Upgraded 6 year old modem and this made all the difference. No more drops and speed problems. Easy to install!

The Nighthawk was easy to install and has performed well in the month since the purchase.

Wow, fast modem. It will handle pretty much anything you need. If you have a static IP address with Sparklight you will need to get one that is wireless but other than that, it's a great buy. Maybe the "Best Buy" ;-)

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

I am not a techy. I wanted a modem that would satisfy download and upload speeds for the foreseeable future. I wanted a modem that was already well received from other purchasers. I wanted a fair price and I wanted a modem which had a straightforward setup. The Netgear CM1000 delivers. I am more than satisfied and wholeheartedly recommend it.

There's not much to say... This modem does what it says it will do. Speeds are excellent. Installation is easy. Activation is fairly painless (provided you get a savvy service rep when calling your ISP). Best of all: the lights on the face aren't obscenely bright (a common complaint with a competing modem).

super easy to install works excellent. Saving a a lot of money over renting an inferior modem from my internet service provider

This truly deserves the highest praise. It's something I believe others would find incredibly beneficial. I encourage everyone to explore this remarkable option. The value it offers is truly exceptional. I am confident you won't be disappointed.

Needed a replacement Modem and Tech recommended this unit after I answered her questions. This unit has worked exceptionally fast and keeps up with 16 devices without a reduction in download speed.

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

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

This cable modem is lightning fast, reliable, and always ready. I work from home and have never had a network failure with this cable modem.

After experiencing a sudden death of my 2-year old modem, I went searching for a stable modem with a good reputation. And I found it! With a number of devices accessing the wireless router, I needed a stable modem to keep everything running. Set up was easy and straight forward. I couldn't be more happy with the performance of this Netgear modem.

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.

Good price and excellent product. Easy to set up. Been purchasing NETGEAR products for years and greatly appreciate their workability, capability, and pricing. Recommend Best Buy and NETGEAR.

Performs as advertised. Not my favorite thing to spend money on, but as I must, I have found happiness with this purchase.

Love this modem. It's my second one only reason it replaced the first one was to prove it was the providers issue

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!
