Footnotes:
¡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.
1Compared to DOCSIS 3.0 and Low-Split. Maximum rate is derived from DOCSIS 3.1 and Mid/High-Split specifications and actual throughput will vary depending on your Internet subscription with your provider.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded to the CM3000 modem. It was super easy to install an setup. I also like that it has a login so I can monitor and get status.

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.

FAST
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.

Outstanding modem
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Paired with Orbi Router only have one of 4 routers connected at this point. Coverage is much better than xfinity’s equipment. I bought the 4 pack of routers thinking I would need extenders as I had with xfinity equipment and I think I may be returning the others.????

Rock solid Performance
The Netgear Nighthawk CM3000 delivers steady performance in the cable provider space. For today's cable Internet experience, it delivers the solid connection you need in an always on modem. I connect this to my mesh wifi (Orbi) and it maintains a steady connection to all of my devices.

Great device, easy to set up, works very well.
Very simple to set up on Xfinity. I'm experiencing great downsteam throughput. Can't tell much about this unit's upstream capabilities, due to Xfinity's local constraints.
The modem is solid and well-designed, with a guide on the underside explaining the status lights, along with default login information. I haven't see it get hot during its few weeks of service so far. Good documentation and support site as well.

Good out of the box
I'm using the Deco BE10000 (3x BE63s), working with Cox the key is having them get the info for the modem before connecting, once they say your modem is connected on there end have them do a reset before you connect and power on the BE63 that is being used for a router. Once they do your reset to modem and all is solid white, disconnect all cables to your router except the one to your modem and connect power cable to the BE63. Wait for the amber light to go green, will take about 3 minutes. Once your green reconnect the cables you had connected back to the BE63 and wait another five minutes for all your devices to come back online. I have 143 so it took about ten minutes for my long distance AP and devices to all connect and be online with no reboot needed. That has been the best about the DECO 10000 is it heals after a Cox outage really nice.

It`s been a few weeks now and so far so good. Setup with Xfinity was a breeze. Hopefully it will last longer than my 3 years usage on the Arris modem.

Everything you're looking for in a modem!
This modem is exactly what I expected! Super fast! In fact, I got better speeds than I did with the xFi modem from Xfinity. I was also pleased that this modem was mid-split ready and super simple to transition from the leased cable modem...

I have not had any service drops or strains of latency since installing this modem. It's stabilized not just streaming on movies and TV, but also game streaming. Definitely worth the investment for resolving unstable connections.
