    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.

    Replaced my ISP’s modem with this Netgear. Set up was a breeze. You’ll need to register it with your IPS for it to work properly. It’s been working well so far. My internet performance has gotten better compared to the IPS’s modem. I am saving $15 in rental charges of my Internet bill. It’ll pay fir itself. This is modem only so you’ll need a wireless router.

    Initially, I had difficulty installing the new device in place of the old; COmcast's automated set up only recognized it in another place in my home. But it worked, for a while. Ultimately folks at NETGEAR determined that the signal I was getting from COMCAST was not to parameters. Once Comcast fixed it, it has worked great ever since.

    The perfect Cable Modem to reach maximum speed

    For the last 2 years we have paid for 1G cable speed, but never reached anywhere near it on our computer. After going round and round with our cable company, we decided not to rent monthly their newest cable modem. After changing it our for the Netgear Nighthawk, we can stream and play games without any buffering. It is a real God send to us during the pandemic.

    I loved it while I had it but I had to return it because I got fiber Internet put in and they don’t use it. It was really powerful and did a good job and you can’t go on purchasing this.

    It has been a very long time since I upgraded my cable modem. Back then modems were very cheap. Since I had Netgear before, wasn’t planning on getting another one. Wasn’t totally happy with it. However, after getting through the shock of how exoensive they are now, purchased on other one. This product has great Wi-Fi reception and easy set up. So far so good.

    Future-proof your cable connection

    I went with this stand-alone DOCSIS 3.1 modem in order to future-proof my cable modem setup. While most cable companies support DOCSIS 3.1, most modems can support high speeds with DOCSIS 3.0. If and when the time comes that DOCSIS 3.1 becomes mandatory, getting this cable modem will get you ahead of the game. You'll be fine without having to upgrade. Speeds are faster than the plan I pay for and I've had no problems.
