    I have tried a couple of times to use those Motorola modems and they have always given me troubles. I upgrade every now and then because Comcast Service allows faster speeds, and unfortunately you have to upgrade your modem as well as the Comcast Service to take advantage of the faster speeds "more channels" if you want it. Netgear modems work great and I have a pile of them now from priors.

    I purchased this Netgear modem along with several other modems that were also DOCSIS 3.1 compliant. Since I work in IT and I work from home, I needed a modem that could take advantage of my 400 Mpbs broadband. The Spectrum cable modem - using DOCSIS 3.0 wasn't giving me all my speed! Once I plugged this Netgear in, I saw a big improvement. It handily beat the other manufacturers (Arris, etc.)

    Great Modem but not for Spectrum Gig Internet

    Bought this modem as I was upgrading from 300/30 internet speeds from Spectrum cable. I originally had great success with a Netgear M600 modem and wanted to go with something I knew worked. Though there were no issue with the modem itself the Spectrum installer will not allow you to use your own modems for gig internet. You have to use the company provided modems. Still would recommend this modem if you are not using cable gig internet.

    Netgear has been a very reliable modem. My Arris modem was good for a while, but started dropping connections after some time. I try replacing it once, and it lasted about 2 months before having the same issues. I was informed by a Xfinity service tech that they've seen that problem a lot with Arris modems and referred me to try Netgear as it's been the most reliable one they've seen.

    Got tired of paying monthly rental fee through WAVE. If you decide to do this, according to WAVE’s website you have 2 recommended modem choices for high speed internet (1GHZ)(Netgear or Arris). Despite what the website says, you won’t be able to hook it up yourself because WAVE will require a technician to come out to make adjustments, etc. Also, I was told after the fact that I should have purchased the Arris instead because of the issues they had with servicing the Netgear. So far, it has worked well as designed.

    Well so far the module it’s doing very well ! The only thing that I’m concerned this box it has only 1 female plug ! I need a box with @ least 2 plugs ! The reason is the I need it to plug my lil monitor for my solar panels and I end up buying @ splitter and I don’t think it’s the right thing to do ! Thanks

    Replaced IP Router/Modem - was getting horrible wi-if speeds and coverage... Now my coverage, stability, and speed is great in a 4,000 sq ft house. Key during this distance working/distance learning time period. I have 4 of us online plus about 30 other devices between security cameras, phones and other smart home devices. Pairs well with the eero pro for WiFi. Nice to ditch the monthly IP modem fees too.

    I upgraded from a Arris SB6183 DOCSIS 3.0 to this Netgear CM1000v2 DOCSIS 3.1 so I would have the latest equipment. I did not notice any difference in my speed and wasn't expecting to gain any speed, but if I do upgrade my internet plan I'll know this modem can handle the increased speed. Installation was quick and easy so no complaints there. I'm also using a Netgear AC 1750 R6400v2 router.
