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.

    Unable to Activate with Xfinity

    I was attempting to move away from the Xfinity rental and the CM1000v2 seemed like a well-reviewed option. However, setup immediately went sideways while using the Xfinity app. The modem was caught in a constant cycle of trying to connect or activate with no real progress after 20-30 minutes. I called Xfinity and they confirmed that the CM1000v2 is still supported but, for some reason, the MAC address of the exact modem I bought was not supported. I had never heard of this before. I contacted Netgear and they confirmed the MAC address was correct but didn't understand why Xfinity couldn't activate it. They suggested calling Xfinity again and, if it still doesn't work, getting both Xfinity and Netgear on a call to resolve. To me, this is way too much work for what should be a trivial activity. I'll be returning this modem.

    The only reason I didn't give this a 5 star rating is due to it having only one ethernet port.

    Solid modem but don’t believe the speed claims

    Nice basic DOCSIS 3.1 modem, nothing to write home about. Claims of 1Gbps + are a bit exaggerated... thought it was Grande throttling my connection or just network traffic, turns out the modem can’t handle the load or properly maintain bandwidth. Swapped out to a modem with identical specs and capabilities, no speed issues at all. TL;DR: does the job but doesn’t do it fast.

    Not atable enough. It’s hang there a few times. I have to restart it to make it work. Also there’s once I have to reset it. All those parents control and security features are not build in but rely on 3rd party software which you need to pay extra money which is troublesome and spending more money. I returned it
