Customer Ratings & Reviews

works really well easy to install. The salesman was very helpful and knowledgeable

Setup for this modem was a piece of cake and had no issues with my ISP (Suddenlink). Wired in I get my full gigabit of speed. Couldn't ask for more!

Works great, very easy to install, quick set ups and cable connections

It was an easy install, but Comcast made it difficult. They had issues capturing the mac address. I have always used surfboard so I hope this stands up to the gaming traffic.

I purchased this modem to replace an older, but still working, Motorola SB cable modem, as the latest speed tiers from my providers require new modems to get their full speeds. The process of replacing the modem was easy, as I just had to call my ISP and give them the relevant numbers off the back of the modem so they knew about the device and could activate their service. I pay for a 200 Mbps download cable service, and this modem actually gives me anywhere between 230-240 Mbps depending on time of day and testing site, so it gets the full 5 stars.

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.

We had a Comcast repair tech here to repair a broken cable on the utility pole. He suggested that I would have better service with a newer cable modem. I looked at the reviews on-line and decided to go with this new Netgear CM1000 cable modem. It was easy to install and only took a few minutes to make the swap. I logged onto the Comcast web page and the rest of the install was automatic. Everything is functional now. I've always had good luck with Netgear products.

Easy to setup. Fast with 3.0 compatible systems and ready to go when 3.1 comes to our area. Especially like the extra ports

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.

Awesome and user friendly Installation and configuration very simple

So far so good. Only had it for a couple of weeks and certainly feels like un upgrade from my older modem. Im gettimg higher speeds, smoother connection, and even faster restarts and reconnecting. It was pretty easy to set up, too.

I purchased a Motorola MB-8600 modem from Best Buy and it was fast and seemed to work great at first. Then, over the first 24 hours it dropped my internet connection (Comcast) four or five times. Returned it and bought this Netgear CM-1000. Just as fast and has not dropped the connection once yet in 2-1/2 days. The Best Buy website does not give me an opportunity to submit a review for the Motorola MB-8600, presumably because I returned it. This is a questionable practice, because it prevents negative reviews from customers who are sufficiently dissatisfied to return a product.

This is a great modem when it works. Mine started dropping connections and loosing internet connection after 3 weeks. Called the Comcast guys, the came checked the signals. Every thing looked good. He said the modem went bad. Called Netgear and they sent replacement after 3 hours on the phone with their techie; luckily I had purchased for $29.99 a 2 year warranty. I have gigabit internet and this modem gave me 945 mbps that’s the fastest. I had tried a Motorola mb8600, did not go above 700mbps. In the mean time I got an Arris SB8600 this is a rock solid modem not as fast as the Netgear CM 1000, but gave me a max of 860 mbps. To mention I have Netgear Nighthawk ad7200 router or Also known as R9000, which is awesome, gives upto 600 mbps on the 5ghz WiFi no matter which modem I used so I am sticking to Arris SB8600 for now. If you want the fastest modem for gigabit speeds then go for this, but make sure you buy the extended warranty.

Super easy set up, has all the features I need, and ready for the future as it is a 3.1 modem that works great with my gigabit subscription. Would highly recommend!

Upgraded from an older arris sb6141. Increased speed by at least 20-30mb/s. Need to activate with ISP to work and make sure there weren't any filters installed in the house.

I work from home and due to ongoing issues with my ISP's modem constantly dropping my connection to work I decided to buy my own modem. I already have Netgear's RAX80 router and like their products. This seemed to be a good match up and I have not been disappointed. I have gone from multiple lost connections or interruptions per week to rarely now (unless they have a major outage). Running a ping test I can see the packet loss but with this modem the connection never drops whereas with the ISP provided modem it was a given. I am highly satisfied with this device.

Easy hook up, instant lag free internet, i already have a Netgear nighthawk router getting this was a no brainer

It has only been in use for about 3 weeks, but it is running strong and I love the fact it will handle up to 1 gbps in case I ever want to go that high.

Had to upgrade my modem to enhance internet speed to 1G. My current router was superior to the modem/router combo offered by Cox Cable. Purchased the Netgear since it was the only real choice I had on the shelf at the local Best Buy (did not want to wait for delivery). I've had good luck with Netgear in the past but it's always nice to have a choice. So far, no problems and works great. Internet speed is pushing the maximum that can be delivered to my location without fiber being run. I would recommend this modem over the rental of items from cable company. It is better quality and more reliable.

Very easy to install, and our internet speed was 10x better than the modem from our internet provider. Wish I had done this months ago!
