We have had this product since 2019. We went from the rented router that was not giving us the promised speeds to this. We are now getting our promised speeds. We are very satisfied with this product.
Needed to improve internet speeds and had great luck with my old netgear modem so I never considered any other brand. Looked at several models and settled on the CM1200. Working great so far. Well pleased.
Bought it to be comfortable and to not worry about it but one after another one, ports are failing, now one lan port left and might fail any time soon.

Modem works great although the first one went bad after 9 months. The rma process took hours and was a serious waste of my time. The modem is very fast and works well and the replacement has caused no issues.
My new modem is extreamly fast and it works well with my R8000 router. I expect a long relationship with them and my new wifi6 RAX120 router.I like the app and security of great products.
I have had this modem for several months and it has turned into a dismal failure. I made the mistake of thinking that 4 ethernet ports meant you could connect up to 4 devices. Wrong. This unit does play well with the Netgear R8500 router. When ever there is a power failure, you must reboot each device again separately to establish communications again. Never got good troubleshooting assistance from Netgear on this issue. Now it does not want to lock in to the Xfinity network. I have had multiple visits from Xfinity technicians to help with trying to resolve the issue. Still working on it. Did not want to believe one of the recommendations would be to replace this modem. Starting to rethink that and beginning to research other manufacturers for a device that will provide 1.2 Gbps connection as this unit will not provide over 1 gig. Still haven't been able to determine how to set up port aggregation to a router and I know not to count on Netgear support. You have to dig into the literature to determine that the 4 ethernet ports are bonded. They should allow you to give a Zero rating to accurately reflect the value you get from this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
