The CM300 NETGEAR router was easy to set up, is stylish as routers go, and provides fast internet. I paired this router with TP-Link AX3000 WiFi 6 Router (Archer AX55 Pro) and they work great together. I’m only paying for about 500mbps download annd 50mbps upload internet, but reliably getting about 750mbps with an upload speed around 100mbps. The router runs quiet with its internal fan.

Im absolutely impressed with this setup. Currently running this modem coupled with a Netgear RS700 router on Xfinity and man what a difference. Ive got the Gig package and speed test were consistently 1.4gb DL and 45 UL. Love that I can save the extra $15 bucks a month from Xfinity and get better speeds. I think from here on out im a Netgear fan!! My only gripe was with a minor hiccup with the setup. I used the Xfinity mobile app to activate the modem and of course it didnt take so had to chat with a rep to get the activation completed. Other than that great product. Still gets 5 stars from me.

I have used other brands and NONE have never been as rock solid as NETGEAR. What I like - Reliability, ZERO calls to tech support to troubleshoot issues - ZERO issues. Zero. What I do not like, well nothing comes to mind. I have added a NETGEAR Orbi 770 Series Tri-Band WiFi 7 Mesh Network System since. This is after purchasing a Linksys AND ASUS competitor systems that fell flat on their face. Same Story. I have two NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switches with the same reliability. Just buy them. They cost more HOWEVER you are buying from a US company with a stellar track record. That IS worth paying for. Done.

Das Modem ist nicht für Deutschland vorgesehen und wurde bei mir auch nur mit dem US Netzteil ausgeliefert, konnte am Vodafone Anschluss nicht in Betrieb genommen werden.

This modem worked great until the multi-gig function inexplicably stopped working after only a year and a half. Now instead of getting the 1000 Mbps I pay for, I am capped at 100 Mbps. I did not touch the thing the entire time, it just stopped working. I have tried replacing all cords, reset everything, and nothing has fixed the issue. Which made me look into updating the firmware and had me discover that Netgear is a scam. They expect you to pay extra for any amount of tech support. Meanwhile they claim they are unable to update the firmware. So I talk to my ISP (Mediacom), and they claim they are unable to update the firmware and it is the manufacturer who can do that. So back and forth I go between Mediacom and Netgear who both say they can't update anything and that the other should be able to. So here I am with wasted time, wasted money, and a $300 box that can't even put out a wireless signal on its own. This modem is too expensive to not even last 2 years at full functionality. Why does anything related to connecting to the internet have to be the most painful process in all of tech

Works great with Wow internet. Install was fast. Just hooked to cable line and called wow gave them the proper i.d. and bam up and running. I have 1 gig service and speed test was about 950mb down and 56 up. Ran a test for packet loss and it was zero. So far no signal loss whatsoever.

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 routersPrice: It’s a bit pricey compared to some other modems, but the performance and future-proofing make it worth the investment.

The cable modem installed easily and was provisioned by my cable provider (Cox) with no issues and clean diagnostics. Download and upload speeds were increased to the max of my Internet service plan (I pay for 500 max download and speed test was showing close to 600 with the CM3000). This replaces a very old Arris SB6183 DOCSIS 3.0 modem. The only issue I had was the admin password for the device UI stopped working (no idea why), but following a call to Netgear tech support I was able to correct this with a hard reset. The modem has been installed and operating with zero problems for six days now. Excellent product in my opinion.
