Why rent the cable companies modem?

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.

I have only had my modem for about a month, so I can't give it a full 5 stars. However, setup was easy, and I look forward to getting the Netgear router to see how they both work together. For now it works well with my current router. My speeds are actually faster!

This is a great Modem if you have very fast internet. This is basically for 1 Gig connection's. If you just have basic internet this is overkill. Just be careful if you do get this. It is not a WiFi Modem. It dies not let you connect wirelessly to it. It is also not a router, it will not let you connect anything other then one thing to it. I have it going into a wireless router. That is the only way you can get WiFi. So you have to buy a router if you do not already own one.

This is a great modem and a good way to future-proof. It is capable of 10gbps. I replaced my Comcast modem with this one and couldn't be happier.

This modem works like a charm. Very impressed with its performance. Sure like the on-off switch that this model has. I purchased the router from Best Buy so I could go pick it up the same day.

Installation took zero effort. Performance has been excellent. It easily matches Comcast's speeds (don't we all wish Comcast delivered what we pay for?).

Works great and is fast....although getting it working with Xfinity was way harder then it would be. They make it sound like it's a simple process but after trying different ways (xfinity sucks) we ultimatly had to chat with one of their reps to get the old modem removed and this new one added. Make sure you have a cell phone near by because you can't use the xfinity app via your laptop. They want you to download and install their app.

Exactly what I expected from this modem. I subscribe to a 200mbps tier from WoW. In doing speed tests, and because WoW doesn't throttle like Spectrum does, the initial phase of the test jumps close to 400 mbps and then converges to the ~210 mbps downloads. Uploads tested also jumps to 20mbps and then converges to ~ 10-11 mbps. No issue registering the modem with WoW and worked like a charm. ~ 2-3 wks now and very stable. Recommend it for general cable modem usage up to 1Gbps docsys3.1. Simple and solid modem.

It works as a modem, is decently fast, and has a pretty good price.
