Since we have had the NETGEAR Nighthawk Modem, we have not had any issues with our internet. Before we had the Xfinity Modem and always had issues with it. We paired the Nighthawk with the Orbi and our internet connects to everything we need it to. Would Highly Recommend getting the Nighthawk CM2050V.
The NETGEAR Night Hawk cable modem CM2050V is a great addition to my networking suite of devices. I get the highest speed that Comcast offers and it just works out of the box. You will need to call Comcast to get your cable modem activated so save time by starting with that first!
I have this modem that I use for my Xfinity internet service. I have a RAXE 500 Router, along with the matching Nighthawk extender. Xfinity now offers 10 G speed, but I can't get it because they tell me this modem will not handle it. Xfinity also offers 4K cable TV, but because I don't have their modem (even though I have a Denon 8k receiver and a Samsung 8K TV), I can't even upgrade to their new cable box. I have even thought of changing my router from the RAXE 500, to the new Orbi, but what good is it if you don't make a matching modem to handle it? If I have to pay to get Xfinity's modem/router, then why do I need any of your equipment at all? I'm all for having my own equipment and saving money by not renting equipment from Xfinity (of course that is after I pay off the money for buying your equipment). Not to mention, that I prefer having your equipment above anyone else's, but don't you think that the modem should be as powerful as the router?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since my speeds with xfinity had increased, I needed to replace my internet/voice modem to take advantage of the upgrade. This Netgear modem was easy to install replacing my older one. I did have to contact Xfinity to help push the signal so I could use it. The xfinity app wouldn't do it and couldn't find it on it's own. It's been working great and my speed has increased!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice Modem. I thought it might be plug-and-play with a Netgear router, but it is not. The Netgear App is needed to configure. But once it works, there are lots of useful options and capabilities.
