  • CM3000: A Smart Upgrade Over Renting an Xfinity Modem
After researching my options, I decided to stop renting Xfinity’s modem and purchase the CM3000 instead—and it has already proven to be a smart financial move. Instead of paying monthly rental fees, I now own a high-performance modem that quickly pays for itself in savings over time. Setup was simple, and the CM3000 has delivered consistently fast, stable, and reliable performance. It easily supports my entire home without interruptions, even with multiple devices streaming, gaming, and working simultaneously. If you’re considering switching from a rental modem, I highly recommend the CM3000—it offers excellent performance, greater control, and significant long-term savings. ... show more

  • Updated/Upgraded My Wi-Fi Network
With a router and a modem approaching the age of 4-5 years old, it was time to update/upgrade my network with a bit of future proofing in mind. After doing my due diligence to pair my recently updated router, I decided to go with the Netgear Nighthawk CM3000. The equipment is compatible with my ISP Cox Cable plus supports DOCSIS 3.1. Setup was easy with uncomplicated connections to my ISP and router. A quick call to Cox Cable to activate the modem onto their network was a breeze. After one week of use, the system has been very stable, reliable with no interruptions. I’ve most definitely noticed and enjoyed quicker loading speeds as well as much better latency while experiencing much less buffering during streaming live programming. Time will tell if this CM3000 will provide solid performance over the next 4-5 years before advancing technology encourages me to update/upgrade my network again. With the 12 month warranty, I figure if anything is wrong with the unit, a problem will likely happen in the first few months. I’ll report back if I experience any problems. Very happy so far. ... show more

  • Very Capable Modem!
Great device that boosted connection speeds. My old modem was too slow to take advantage of increased speed, but this one takes full advantage. I connected it to my existing WiFi 6 mesh router and everything runs so much better.

  • Avoid NETGEAR. You were warned.
My issue with this: not even a year, and this $300 modem is making scratching noise. There is no fan so you know it is an electrical component. CHEAP electrical component. This I believe, is objectively the most expensive modem of this class. You'd think, "no problem, it has 1 year warranty". And here is my issue with NETGEAR Support. 1. Discourages return/replacement by decoupling warranty with "support". - One year HARDWARE warranty, but only 90 day SUPPORT. I cannot freaking reach a hardware warranty resolution because it keeps asking me to pay for support. I should not have to pay support to exercise hardware warranty. They deliberately make it hard to contact them for RMA. 2. Discourages return/replacement by returning 404/500/"Page not found" in related RMA pages. - No freaking way. How can they get away with this? Every dead link and extra hoop shakes off the percentage of claimants, and THEY KNOW IT. 3. Discourages return/replacement by making you "internet-less" for a long time. - A modem maker should know that asking for your modem first before issuing a replacement is a dumb, as that means you'd be out of internet while take their sweet sweet time to replace your device. Especially on cases where it is still kinda working, but you know it is failing. 4. Discourages return/replacement by knowing you'd get another refurb or busted unit. - So what's the point again of warranty? Please do yourself a favor. Get a cheaper brand because this one will fail anyway. Or better yet, get from a more reputable brand, if there is any. ... show more

  • Solved The Issues
I had bought a new laptop and was having issues that I thought would mean returning it. It would show that I had great connection to the router but no wifi. I constantly had to refresh to make it connect. Thought it was the laptop, but then it started happening on other devices. My old modem was 5 years old. I started thinking maybe that was the problem, so I decided to upgrade that before blaming my devices. This modem was easy to activate through the internet provider's app. Lo and behold - it solved all the connection issues. Devices that connect to my wifi are buzzing along now. So, it was just a case of my old modem not being up to the task anymore. The old modem was also a Netgear. I was pleased with the service I got from it, so when it was time to upgrade I went with Netgear again. Very pleased with the results. ... show more

  • Good modem upgarde - call service provider to register modem - not Netgear.
I learned my Motorola modem was no longer secure and suseptable to malware/ could not be updated. I bought this and know how to connect it all. Consumers may not want to waste time contacting Netgear - and contact the service provider to connect/ register the modem. I wasted time with someone who had no idea what he was talking about. My service is now faster/ better and more secure. ... show more
