    It’s ok but more than I needed

    I purchased this modem when I switched from Comcast Xfinity to Century Link. I needed a modem that was compatible with the internet provider. It worked well but after doing a more in depth research I leaned that this modem is more than I needed at the time and in the near future. The reason I returned this modem was because Century Link (or some other internet providers) are not all nationwide or provide service in all major or smaller cities. Since I am moving in 2020 to a dogfeeent city having this modem may not be needed it may not be compatible with other internet providers. Also, the DOCSIS 3.1 is a very new technology and by the time this is nationwide standard this modem may be old or obsolete therefore I chose to return it and rent the one from my provider at this time until another unit comes out at a lesser price. For the most, it worked very well and I have no complains of this modem. The “one star” is for the price for the new technology and it’s price tag. I still recommended if you are to stay put in your current location but for someone like me who relocated every 4 years (military) it makes little sense.

    Always love Netgear Stuff. This Modem will work with Mediacom internet. Why rent from Mediacom, this will pay for itself within the year.

    Great modem handicapped by included cable

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    When my old modem died I bought this modem and am very pleased except for one thing. After installing, my internet connection slowed to a crawl. A little troubleshooting found the problem. The only DOCSIS 3.1 modem available came with a Cat 5 cable to connect to my router. ?!?!? Does Netgear know where I can get a Corvette speed limited to 45 mph to go with it? Luckily I had a Cat 6 cable that I was using with the old modem that fixed the problem. Very disappointed on that one point. You can't fit 1gb through a 100mb line.

    My old cable modem is slow and need a faster modem to take advantage of the new Spectrum download speed for streaming TV. This cable modem work with Spectrum and easy to setup. Couldn't be happier.

    Bought this because I upgraded my internet oeed to 1,000mbps . It is the only one Best Buy carries that can handle that speed. I got an Amazon prime match , so I got it for only $145. Great deal and user friendly. 5 stars

    We use this in our vacation home paired with the Orbi AC 2200. We couldn't be more satisfied. It's compatible with Xfinity and setup was a breeze. Did it all online. I only wish that it was compatible with Optimum (Cablevision).

    I replaced my not-so-old Netgear DOCSIS 3.0 with this model and it just works. Because it is also a Netgear product and uses the same power plug, I was able to simply replace it and have it up and running in a few minutes. The improved DOCSIS 3.1 hardware definitely works better with my cable system and my connection is more stable and the 1Gbps speed ensures I am getting the most from my subscription.

    This modem is simply amazing. Quiet, fast, and has a slim design that takes up very little space. The only thing odd is after all the packaging and advertising that the modem is compatible with Spectrum Internet, their system cannot find or recognize the modem.
