Very easy install/activation. Very little configuration. Works with all my previous devices/connections. The Nighthawk app is easy to use and works with my older router and the newer modem.
I had to upgrade my old Netgear modem to allow for my new internet speed of 800 mbps. The CM1200 was a very good value option. It is perfect for people who have a separate router and satellite system.
I've been a long time user of multiple networking devices by Netgear, most recently the Nighthawk AC1900 Modem/Router Combo with Wi Fi 5 capability. Although, I now have dedicated devices for Wi Fi 6, the CM1200 Modem has been a game changer with my Xfinity internet service.
Works very well most of the time. However I've been having periodic connection issues. The Xfinity service person verified internet and said this modem is not fully up to docsis 3.1 standard, that it is more a 'transition' modem between 3.0 and 3.1. I've had two separate service calls and they've blamed the modem each time. I've had it less than a year and will likely need to replace with a true 3.1 modem.
I finally cut the cord to cable. My xfinity modem/router had weak coverage and didn’t want to pay to rent crap equipment. Handles streaming TV’s and other devices throughout my home AND yard !
Upgraded my older model nighthawk modem to this one and it’s a great improvement. Now my Internet speeds are up to what my service speed is supposed to be. Happy customer!
