Im still not 100% on this modem. The first one i purchased was bad and the second is having download lick issues. The modem has 4 ethernet ports on the rear but doesnt have dhcp so you cant use them. Why put 4 ports on the back of one of the most expensive modems on the market if you cant use them.....

I purchased a new Netgear modem a router. I had no problem working with my internet provider in getting the modem working, but despite help from the we could not get it to connect to the router - both Netgear products! Spectrum gave me the Netgear number but the person I spoke to wold not help me because I didn’t have some of the purchase information. He basically told me I had one call with Netgear - like being arrested and getting one phone call! This is ridiculous. It should quick, easy and flawless to get two products from the same company to “Talk” to each other. I had to get external technical help to get it working. Not good service.
Installation was easy and internet speed was great, matched with provider speed advertised. The down side is it had 4 ports and only one port can be used unless subscribe with multi IP address with provider.
I purchased the CM1200 to avoid having to rent a modem from my cable company for 1Gig service. After four months of never getting higher than 150 Mbps, a helpful technician helped troubleshoot the problem and, lo and behold, it was the modem. He replaced it with their standard modem and immediately my speeds jumped from 150 Mbps to 935 Mbps and 77 Mbps uploads. The only way to get service or replacement is to PAY for a service contract, so the modem is now an expensive paperweight. Never again, Netgear. Your Orbis are awesome, but this modem is a dog.
