Customers are saying

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.

    The better the modem the better your internet service. Net gear is solid. I work from home and my two teenage boys due virtual schooling. Zero hiccups

    My brother lives out of town so solving his tech needs remotely is always a challenge but after diagnosing the problem and researching the product, he was thrilled with the modem we selected for him.

    Personally I feel this modem have better Heat dissipating design that the comparable Surfboard one. Only downside is there is only 1 gigabit port as the Surfboard offers two.

    One of the biggest things when looking for a modern... does it keep a stable connection? I can say after using this for quite some time, it definitely does.

    this might be one of the strongest cable modems Netgear has ever done. The number bonding channels and potential download rate is impressive. My connection to the net is 150Mbs and this unit DELIVERS.

    No other changes and the speed picked up considerably. Quick call to Cox to get them to switch to this configuration and no other issues. Would definitely recommend this product!

    We realized that we had been paying rental fees to Comcast for years and could have bought several cable modems with the money we spent renting. The CM1000 is ultra-high speed and backward compatible. Great investment.

    I would give this 5 stars if it had WiFi capabilities. It’s solid. Have had no complaints about the network. Ended up buying a proper mesh system to support the connectivity. Okay

    My cable company (Xfinity) told me my previous modem was "end of life" so I got this one. Works fine for several years now.
