    Originally bought the ARRIS - SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem but the chipset has an issue disabling high speeds like 200megabit service and would cause random drops. This modem outperforms anything I’ve ever had even hooked to an old Apple router I still see very close to 200mb over WiFi too. A buddy uses this for his 250mb service w whole house WiFi and it’s also flawless. Highly suggest this above all other purchases- buy this and a separate WiFi option like whole home or the netf was WiFi router for smaller sq ft (1k sq ft)

    Great Cable Modem for my existing Router

    Just moved and needed to pick up a cable modem to go in front of my Nighthawk router. Once comcast added it's MAC address to their route tables, the thing has been up and running flawlessly! Has some great bandwidth, trying out Xfinity's gigabit network and I'm really impressed at both the speeds we're getting as well as how well all of my own hardware (Netgear products) is working with Xfinity's network.

    When it comes to safely and quickly speeding down the internet highways, I always reach for my trusty Netgear 32x8 Docsis 3.1 Cable Modem. Much like a fanny pack or a towel, the Netgear modem is like many things that make traveling so much simpler. Now, I can venture to the peaks of the Andes, battle wizards on the moon, and even spend my Friday night thumbing through Instagram to see what fancy club Kylie will end up at next. Netgear cable modem - never leave home without it.

    This unit has performed flawlessly. I was sick and tired of my cable internet providers cheap cable modems and having to reset them several times a week. Ever since I installed this unit, I have had ZERO internet outage issues. I combined this with a good router and I have had a year of perfect service. No dropping internet whatsoever. And saves me a modem rental monthly fee. If your thinking about purchasing this, stop thinking and JUST BUY IT! You will not regret it!

    Cable modems kind of suck as a rule of thumb. And this one still has the problems that all cable modems do. But it works fantastic otherwise (for a cable modem.)

    Bought this modem so I didn't have to lease ISP hardware at an exorbitant rate. Works well and though the marketing only states it works for Xfinity and Spectrum, I've had no issues using this with Wave Broadband as my ISP. I have this hooked up to an Asus WiFi 6 router and my internet works great. This modem is definitely a good pickup for gigabit internet service coupled with WiFi that can handle high speeds.
