Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fast and reliable modem I did a lot of research to find the right modem to save my monthly internet equipment fee which is $20.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent company The NETGEAR we purchased was a 2021 model. I had difficulty matching it to my infinity box. I called support they couldn't fix it virtually. They sent a technician out he politely replaced it with a brand new 2023 model. It works perfectly. NETGEAR is A1. I will always be a loyal customer. Outstanding!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Should have done this long ago. After years of issues with the Spectrum supplied modem, I finally decided to try a product from a company that specializes in routers and modems. It was a great decision. 90 percent of the constant dropouts I was experiencing have come to an end. I can finally enjoy the internet without interruptions thanks to this inexpensive modem from Netgear!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from perfect I wanted to replace my comcast cable modem with one that was simple, reliable, no wireless, no firewall, fast and inexpensive. I wanted it to operate in passthru mode so that my router would be web facing. The comcast modem can be configured as passthru, but it kept changing back and enabling the wifi!!! Enough! This modem was just what the docsis ordered. It does what I want, comcast can't go behind my back and fool with it, and, best of all, I don't have to pay rent to them for it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quality Product, Decent Price My previous cable modem started failing on me, several times a day I would lose my internet connection and would have to reboot the modem. I went online and checked my cable providers website to see which modems were compatible with their service. I wanted to go with a Netgear modem since I was using a Netgear wireless router and was very happy with it. My cable provider had a long list of compatible modems and I was pleased to see that many of them were Netgear brand. I chose this model (CM500) because it is about one step above what my current needs are and if my needs were to change I would still be able to use this one. Since installing the modem I have yet to have a single problem with losing my internet connection. The price of the modem was very reasonable to begin with but I was luck enough to find it on sale for $15 less which was an added bonus to it all.

Over the last three weeks, it's been stable and consistently giving over 150Mbs which is the Xfinity speed that I am paying for. I have it hooked up to a router with a wireless router hooked to the router. Everything works as it should. The device itself is in a small unobtrusive casing, and one would hardly know there. If only everything was as simple.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy Set Up and Strong Signal I was pleased with the easy set up of my NetGear Modem CM500 and the signal was strong too. One thing everyone should know is that you must call your internet provider whenever you buy new equipment for them to resend the signal from their company to your modem to recognize it. After doing that, it worked like a charm.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No Stars.Dead on arrival brand new out of the box. I bought this today to replace my older Netgear and increase my internet speed and after calling my internet provider to set it up. It failed to provide internet via direct to the modem or via my router. Called Netgear and they were of no help.After calling my provider and Netgear a couple times each and about 2 hours later I gave up and plugged in my ancient Netgear modem and it worked from the get go. Problem is Im now going to be paying a lot more for higher speed and I wont see the benefit as my current modem can only put out 100Mbps. No more Netgear for me.time to try a different brand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Compatiblity Issues The CM500 does not connect reliably with a Tenda W268R Wifi Router in static mode. Router dynamic mode does not work with the CM500 either. The two companies like to point fingers at each other with no immediate solution. My impression is that the CM500 is not compatible with all routers as advertised. :(

I finally found a small sticker at the bottom of the box where the bar code appears and says: CM500-1AZNAS and with that model they could register it in Comcast but they CAN ALSO ACTIVATE THE INTERNET, I had to reinstall the Old modem that does connect the internet.

I spent over 2 hours on the phone with Xfinity trying to get it to connect but it wouldn’t. I ended up going to the store and getting a different branded modem and it was up and running in less than 5 minutes. To make matters worse the modem came with a card that said 90 day money back guarantee but when I opened a case with Netgear they would only offer to send me a replacement, which does me no good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Straight up Trash I purchased the CM500 to work with my xfinity network and and after a few outs of trying everything he could my technician told me that it was defective and to take it back. Which I did as I understand that there is no perfect electronic so a defective modem is understandable. However I purchased another one of the same model and this one also would not work. That is two defective modems in one week! That does not sound like a coincidence to me. I’d give it zero stars if I could.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Junk! Compared to other Netgear Products I purchased this one through Amazon about a year and a half ago. The modem will sometimes go offline and you have to unplug it a few times to work. I own a Netgear Nighthawk and paired it with this - I have a 600mbps plan from Xfinity yet this modem will only pull 312mbps. Sometimes it just stalls and there goes "me" to unplug and replug. Honestly Im thinking my modem is defextive reason why I dont get the speed I pay for.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from CM 500 is 10x slower than Comcast xFi Gateway My CM 500 maxes out at 28.3 Mbps downstream - and switching to the Comcast xFi gateway yielded more than 400 Mbps downstream. I understand the CM 500 is DOCSIS 3.0 so it's max speed of 680 Mbps is slower than a DOCSIS 3.1 modem - but 28.3 Mbps isn't anywhere near the 680 Mbps max speed or the 400+ Mbps speed of the other CM on the same line with the same test conditions... either I'm doing something wrong or XFinity is rate limiting this CM ... not sure where or how to get support as Xfinity won't support the device and NetGear isn't reacheable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Buy One and Roll the Dice... The CM500 is not a bad modem. When it works, it works well. The problem is that when it stops working, you are out of luck. The warranty which comes with the modem covers only the first 90 days. Every review and/or complaint I have read about this model, aside from one or two, talks about problems occurring after one or two years. By that time, the warranty has expired, although you are able to sign up for an extended warranty.....for the same price (or more! as the modem itself. In other words, if it stops working, you may as well replace it. As I said, when the modem works, it works well. The service policy, however, needs to be replaced.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So far great! Have been using it for a few weeks and so far works great. More reliable than the Xfinity modem/Wi-Fi combo we previously were using. Works well with Netgear WiFi modem. Xfinity plan of 400 mbs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from works with one device only Works with one device at a time only. Will need to buy a separate router if you need to connect 2 or more devices, which will be much more expensive than buying a modem router combo to begin with. Think before you buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Netgear Cable Modem (CM500) The first 3 months I had no problems with it. It worked very well until it had a power surge. Netgear is sending me a new one because the warranty was still valid. Thanks Netgear!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delivers speeds Modem works well. I consistently get 560-600mbps with nothing else running. Barely uses any power. No issues setting up with Comcast/Xfinity. I installed a small cooling fan underneath it but it barely gets warm without a fan.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works but isn’t great Bought this to replace an old zoom modem that xfinity said would no longer work. This netgear model does not seem to provide the same speed of internet as before. From the reviews I was hoping the internet would be a bit faster but it is not.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Slow internet speed We are supposed to have 800mbps, but we have less than 100mbps download speed which is extremely disappointing. Also, the tech support is always someone in India which makes communication difficult.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Modem This modem has been running strong for years without any issues. It is silent and fairly low power consumption in comparison to the newer Comcast branded models. Unfortunately, Comcast appears to throttle the upload speed to 10 Mbps on DOCSIS 3.0 modems, even though they can support such throughput.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works fine I have had this for a while and it is still working fine. I have been maxing it out for a while and still not burnt up. I would recommend this. I cant remember the last time I had to reboot it. I have... you know as you should now and then... but its not like a monthly event like my previous ones... not that it wouldnt hurt. ;-)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy setup, stopped working after 6 months Setup is extremely simple and the modem is user friendly. I really liked it for a little while, though my Comcast internet made achieving a connection difficult (XFINITY internet is terrible). Unfortunately, in six months it stopped working and I am having to go through a very long process to get a refund—if I even get one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Never worked I made two attempts to have Xfinity enable the modem. They could not. I called for Netgear support. Extreamly slow and frustrating. I asked repeatedly, and I mean many times, why the upstream and downstream leds were always solid red. The support person refused to answer that question and after a long, long time on the phone, I gave up and hung up. This person appeared to me to have no idea of what he was doing. The Quick Start document says you can see a red light from the power led, but it does not indicate the condition for a red display on either the upstream or downstream leds. I'm back renting a modem from Xfinity and will return the Netgear.
