    This modem has been great for our house. While we do not have gigabit speeds at our home yet, this modem gives us the capability down the line to get those types of speeds. Depending on the Internet Service Provider, you might be better off getting the 16 channel modems, as most providers are not taking advantage of the DOSIS 3.1 standard yet. Keep in mind that if they change the standard, you would be better prepared for the future in getting this modem instead.

    Netgear cable modem has a nice design, very easy to hook up. DOCSIS 3.1 is the latest. Works with Comcast cable, don't have to rent their cable modem.

    Very easy to setup and use. I paired mine with the Asus - AC3100. A lot of the downloads now are capped by my HDD transfer rate. If you have comcast gigabit, you can't go wrong with this modem.

    slight internet improvement. Was expecting a huge difference. Wasnt that easy to get to work. Had to call Xfinity and netgear several times to get it working. For the price, it should have 2 ethernet ports at least. Not working well with google home system.

    I had to call Comcast to get it on their network. After that it was smooth sailing. Internet is faster and more reliable than the comast modem/router. Now no more rental fee!!

    Easy install and set up with Xfinity cable internet. Works great with my Gigabit internet package! I would not purchase this modem if you did not have 1000 mbs speeds though. There is no need.

    Top notch modem. Wireless numbers are above the speed tier I pay for. Pay for 500mbps registry get near 700mbps with Speedtests on various devices. Streams 4k hdr from NAS with no issues or latency. Totally worth the upgrade if your speeds aren’t where they should be with your ISP. Wireless AC on ps5 is flawless. Highly recommended.

    I upgraded from another Netgear that was 8 years old. The difference in the speed is incredible. Well worth the money. I do wish it had more ports to connect devices wired.

    One of the best DOCSIS 3.1 Modem!

    This is one of the best DOCSIS 3.1 modem I bought and reviewed so far. I was looking to upgrade my network due to WFH through the rest of the year. While working with my ISP to find a better internet plan I decided not to pay a ridiculous $15 rental fee for an outdate modem and instead shelled out the money for this one. I have Optimum in NJ and the connection with Netgear products isn't the best and they prefer Arris. I had to return the product due to that limitation but definitely would buy again if I change ISP or Optimum supports more Netgear modems!

    Easy setup, solved the connection problem I was having. It only took a few minutes to solve the problem and establish connection. The biggest problem was in calling the provider and forwarding the info to allow them to establish the connection. Since my setup, I have had no further problems with my connection.

    Amazing modem for Cox Gigablast Service, I bought the Arris SB8200 at first because I have always had Arris modems and plus it was recommended to me by one of Best buy's sales rep. but I was only getting speeds ranging from 200mbs to 500mbs with ethernet connection. Cox had recently fixed my line so I knew it wasn't my wiring. I bought this modem and sure enough it gave me 900mbs to 1.2 gbs speed consistantly. I was very surprised and dissapointed in the arris. When paired with my Orbi mesh system, I was getting consistant 500 to 600 mbs wireless connections. Definitely recommend this modem if the SB8200 doesn't work out for you.
