  • 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

  • Best modem & customer service
Description: This modem (paired with the Nighthawk router) are flawless. They've worked perfectly since setup. And speaking of which, Netgear's customer service is amazing. I had a few issues since I'm "tech challenged", and the very patient tech rep stayed on the line with me until both the modem and router worked great. (Note: Most of the issue was my error. For most people, it would probably be easy setup without customer service.) ... show more

  • What a mess!
Well, I bought this in March as my old Netgear modem took a dump (2 years old). It worked great for about 5 months, then it kept dropping the Internet connection. I assumed it was my ISP, so I had them come out multiple times. We finally realized it was my pretty new modem. I contacted Netgear and they helped, but I would write to them, then get a reply a day or 2 later. By this time, I was unplugging it 2-3 times a day and letting it reboot. I couldn't wait for Netgear to figure out the issue, so I bought an Arris. Problem solved! My connection has been working great since the new modem. This thing was pretty expensive. I couldn't keep switching modems to answer the questions Netgear was asking. It sounds like their newest O/S update clashes with my ISP, but of course nobody will admit that (Netgear or ISP). So here this expensive modem sits on the floor and Netgear closed out the issue because I couldn't answer them in 48 hours as I was out of town. No more Netgear for me! ... show more

  • Blazing Fast, Future-Ready Cable Modem for Xfinity
I recently upgraded to the NETGEAR Nighthawk CM3000 DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem, and it has been an exceptional performer for my high-speed internet needs. Here's my experience: Pros: Supports Top-Tier Speeds: This modem is approved for cable plans up to 2.5Gbps, making it perfect for today’s ultra-fast internet and future-proofing for years to come. My speeds are consistently reliable, with no dips or interruptions, even during peak hours. Broad Compatibility: It works seamlessly with all major cable providers, including Xfinity, Spectrum, and Cox. Activation with Xfinity was a breeze, taking only a few minutes to get up and running. DOCSIS 3.1 Technology: The mid/high-split support ensures better upstream and downstream capabilities, making it ideal for heavy internet users like gamers, streamers, and remote workers. Compact Design: The sleek, vertical design saves space and blends well with my other networking equipment. Cons: No Built-In Wi-Fi: This modem doesn’t include Wi-Fi capabilities, so you’ll need a separate router for wireless connections. For me, this wasn’t an issue since I paired it with some other routers Price: It’s a bit pricey compared to some other modems, but the performance and future-proofing make it worth the investment. ... show more

  • Best 3.1 High-Split ready modem - Spectrum - Large size
The modem replaced a SB8200 on Spectrum and the firmware V6.01.03 is correctly working on Spectrum. The modem works great and is fast. It is VERY tall/large compared to other non-WiFi standalone modems. The admin page to see signal levels and logs is very annoying to get to work on a PC browser and it is highly recommended to check this page on a mobile device browser. The info provided in the cable connection diagnostic admin page is ample and should satisfy most users for signal diagnostics. The advanced administration tab Event Log provides identical information the Arris models show and is the same a Spectrum tech would have access to with their Scope software for their provided modems. I'm happy with the performance of this modem overall, but as stated already a few nitpicks is the overall size of the modem and the wonky desktop browser access of the admin gui page... really strange. ... show more
