¡10Gbps is the maximum data transfer rate in the DOCSIS 3.1 standard. In practice, your Internet speeds will be less, as the transfer rate through the CM3000 Gigabit Ethernet port is limited to 2.5Gbps. The internet speeds may also be reduced by the volume of network traffic or your service plan. Maximum rate is derived from DOCSIS 3.1 specifications and actual throughput will vary depending on your internet subscription with your provider. Gigabit service plans & compatible cable modem required for Gigabit or Multi-Gig Internet speeds.
¡¡CM3000 is prepared for today and tomorrow with both mid/split and high/split technology. Mid-split technology is currently being offered by some ISPs in some regions. High/split technology may be offered by ISPs in the near future. Please check with your ISP regarding mid-split and high/split compatibility.

Super fast, east to setup
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.

Easy and Fast
I appreciated how simply the new Nighthawk installed. I’m getting maximum downloads now, and the link aggregation should be a phenomenal addition once I have a WiFi router that can handle two aggregate ports.

Powerful modem for up to 2.5 Gbps download speed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have purchased Netgear CM3000 just about a couple of weeks ago after much research. I had a few concerns about the modem's compatibility with Comcast network in our area and several issues reported by other users w/r to the modem's reliability and stability. So far, I'm fairly satisfied.
1) Purchase, delivery, unpacking - can't be happier, no issues to report.
2) Initial set-up - no real issues. There was an issue after I did the self-installation - I noticed that the upload speed was low (the main reason I purchase the modem was to improve the upload speed). I called Comcast tech. support, asked them to re-provision the modem with a CORRECT boot file, and in fife minutes my upload speed was ~7 times higher.
3) the modem has been up and running for a couple of week with no hiccups that I could report.
I will be examining the logs and watching the modem performance. If anything goes wrong, I will come back to this review and update the rating - but so far everything looks good and I'm searching for a new router.

Speeds I’ve Never Seen!
I used to have an Xfinity modem that worked well, but I wanted something I could fully manage and with significantly faster speeds. Recently, I purchased a combo router/modem and encountered a ton of issues. On a whim, I decided to splurge and get the this bad boy and I’m thrilled with the results! I’ve never experienced speeds like these in my house. We have numerous home automation devices, and this device effortlessly handles them all, with some extra power. I highly recommend this product to anyone seeking to enhance their home networking capabilities.

For years I rented a modem from Xfinity until buying this Netgear modem. I also purchased router separately. I live in a two story house and so far it’s working great.

Great upgrade
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently, I needed to replace my aging NETGEAR Cable Modem/Router. I now own a mesh Wi-Fi system, and the CM3000 was the perfect match for the new configuration. Now, my mesh system operates much more efficiently, and the download/upload speed has increased as well. I look forward to many more years of reliable service from my newest NETGEAR product.

Works great with Xfinity
The Netgear Blackhawk Modem CM3000 is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for blazing-fast internet speeds, rock-solid reliability, and seamless compatibility with Xfinity. Setup was effortless, and the performance has been outstanding, handling multiple devices with ease. It's a must-have for gamers, streamers, or anyone tired of slow, inconsistent connections. Highly recommended!

Solid, Fault Tolerant Modem
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this modem recently since my cable provider upgraded their DOCSIS implementation. My ISP is still making adjustments to their network daily, and this modem is very tolerant of their work that will often take power levels down to -25 dBmV for brief time periods.
The user interface is superior to my previous modem as well that was made by a different manufacturer. Additionally, the processing seems to be really good.
Speeds are limited by my ISP at this point, but I am sure we'll be able to take advantage of the updated infrastructure once those updates are completed.

Top notch product
Works great. It impressed the cable tech who had to come provision it and fix my internet. It gave me such great logs that I was able to tell him exactly the problem with the cable signal (loss in their equipment, not mine), so now we're getting a new cable from the house to the box.

No issues
We switched from xfinity's default equipment to the NETGEAR Nighthawk (CM3000) and the Orbi 770 Series. No issues to report and the internet speed is exactly what I am paying for from xfinity. Internally I am using 2.5GB switches and 2.5 GB on most of my equipment so transfers internal are also excellent.

As the available internet seeps increase so does the need for equipment that can handle it. I had about 600 mg with my old Surfboard and it went to just over 900 with my Nighthawk. Love it.

CM3000 performance with Xfinity 2G Plan
Upgraded my Xfinity internet service recently from 1G/40Mbps to a 2G/300Mbps plan, so I replaced my reliable 4-year-old CM1100 modem with the latest 2.5Gbps modem, CM3000 model. Activation took a bit longer due to the Xfinity provisioning process, but once set up, the CM3000 performed as expected. Testing with the Nighthawk Mobile App shows consistent speeds of 1.8-2.3Gbps download and over 340Mbps upload between the ISP and the CM3000. Now, I’m just left wondering what to do with the still-functional CM1100, which is perfect for a 1G plan.
