Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this modem. It's my second one only reason it replaced the first one was to prove it was the providers issue

Super fast, easy set up....After dealing with the nonsense of AT&T, this smokes the "less than optimal" equipment I was required to pay for monthly with them. Haven't had to reset in over my first 6 weeks of use...Unlike aforementioned firm where I was having to reset every two days...

Lightning storm took out my Arris Syrfboard cable modem, I needed to get my internet back on line asap. Best Buy sales person recommended the Netgear CM 1000. so far it has worked as expected very pleased with the purchase.

After an increase in speed by my Internet provider my previous Linksys CM3024 wasn't quite up to handling the speed increase. Of course Comcast/XFINITY wanted me to rent their modem/router combo but less than stellar reviews brought me to this product. It is Comcast approved and install was a breeze. Speeds jumped from 150 to 300+ download. One setback for a number of Comcast customers is those that want to use a wireless set top box for secondary televisions or the use of XFINITY Home Security "must" use XFINITYS modem/router. I call that a "Gotcha". No surprise however as providers want every penny they can get. As far as this Netgear Modem it is a 10+ and I highly recommend it. Not a single problem or issue. Rock Solid.

I decided go with this Netgear modem along with a TP-Link Deco X60 WiFi Mesh system. I love that router pays itself off in under a year, and its equipment that I own. It works great with my mesh system. In 2 months j have no had a dropped connection. When I called Comcast to activate the new modem and remove the XB7 (I pay for a 1Gbp/s plan) gateway they provided, the tech on the phone asked why I didn’t want to use their equipment. Are you kidding me!? I explained to him how it was a no brainer. It basically saves you money in the long run and gives you much better control of the router’s settings. Make sure if you already have 1Gb/s that the modem your purchase is DOCSIS 3.1. A 3.0 modem will the allow that kind of bandwidth. The way I see it, saving $15 bucks a month for renting useless equipment is $15 bucks I can put towards upgrading to super fast internet. Owning the equipment is an added bonus! Oh and the Xfinity WiFi range is nothing compared to my new mesh system. It covers every corner of my 6000sqft house, where the Xfinity gateway needed extenders. And I refuse to pay Comcast for those ridiculous xPods.

Very affordable with the new DOCSIS 3.1 standard, and so worth the money. No connectivity issues, lagging, or speed issues whatsoever. Easy to set up and customize and getting well over 200mbps hardlined directly to PS4 and Smart TV. Best Modem I have purchased

I replaced an older Surfboard 6141 with this Netgear CM1000 32x8 modem. I was not getting the internet speed I was entitled to with my ISP provider of 250Mbs. I was having frequent loss of connection issues during Zoom calls with multiple participants with my old modem and now the connection issues have stopped. The setup and connection of the new modem with my ISP was easy and the signal and speed is solid. I am using a older Netgear AC1750 router and I am getting over 275 Mbs speed now on a consistent basis. Very satisfied so far.

The router is pretty expensive but well worth the price. My Internet is fast and reliable. This modem in combination with the Nighthawk router produces super fast speeds. Streaming downloading and uploading is a breeze. I'm very happy with this modem.

Setup is easy and the device is reliable. Noticeable increase in speed once this was set up & hooked in with my router. Very reliable.

Easy installation, hasn't had a problem since purchase, and plenty fast. When Xfinity said my old modem couldn't deliver the faster speeds they provided, I went with this model and have not been disappointed.

This router has worked out quite well. It started with an easy setup process and with a few resets over the first week has been working reliably. My service is at the 250 megabit level but I have consistently been getting speeds slightly above.

It works and let’s you avoid a monthly rental fee. It doesn’t get too warm, doesn’t reboot unnecessarily, the data stream is reliable, and it delivers about 960Mbps on Xfinity Gigabit.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, I am teaching all of my college courses over the net with Zoom. My ISP's supplied modem/router was constantly kicking me off and and breaking down during classes. I bought this CM1000 Nighthawk and WOW! Installation was pretty darn easy via a phone app. I scheduled one full day to make sure I could get this set up. It took about 45 minutes. The speed increased immediately and the my internet connection NEVER DROPS!!! I paired this modem with the NetGear AC1750 router. What a combination. Now I can get super speeds anywhere in our home. Love this!

This modem was simple to connect and does exactly what is needed. I use it to connect with my internet provider, Comcast. It allows me to connect my wireless router to the internet so I can stream my Roku TVs and other devices -- works great! The modem has to be activated through Comcast, which can be done by calling Comcast Support (you'll need the MAC address and serial number from the modem to give to Comcast Support. It's printed on the modem.) With this set-up, I save significant equipment rental fees and have begun enjoying streaming vs legacy cable service.

My 8 year old Netgear router finally bit the dust. Got a newer model but same Netgear brand to replace it. Easy setup. After calling ISP and giving them the router numbers, internet was back up and running quickly. Numbers were a big high on the download power side so I added a -4db attentuator--download power numbers are now between +2 and -2.

You only have 2 options when it comes to a docsis 3.1 modem. This one and a surf board. This one is cheaper and only has one Eithernet output line, the surf board has 2. No issues so far, my max download speed is about 800gb down 51up.

Bought this modem because I had purchased a high-end router thinking it was a modem/router combo, however this was a welcome addition to the setup. It replaced the previous Netgear Modem/Router combo I had used for almost a decade from one state to another. I think this brand has really solidified itself as an industry leader. The speed is fantastic and it pairs well with the router I purchased that runs wifi 6 technology. Extremely simple setup and will easily provide 7 or 8 devices with streaming capacity that doesn't lag.

Easy to setup. I have Xfinity for at home internet. This modem was easy to get hooked up and have ready to go very quickly. Connected my own router to it, I am using a Eero mesh network with 2 routers and have 0 issues since I got connected. Well worth the money spent to be using my own gear. Would reccomend!

I picked this up, along with a router, so I could return my rented combo (modem/router in one) from my ISP. I am definitely not tech savvy when it comes to equipment like this, so I did my research by reading other reviews. This modem does exactly what it's supposed to do. It was simple to connect and I am getting all of the speed I'm paying for without the rental fee. It is designed to handle current/future technology so it should be viable for quite a while. This modem isn't cheap. You are paying for the technology and capability that it produces...but this will pay for itself in less than a year with the money I'm saving on inferior rental equipment. THAT, is great value!

Great product and easy to setup! Will definitely be recommending to friends and family!
