Rated 5 out of 5 by from Reliable Have had this modem since 2020 and it's been so reliable and dependable I hardly think about it! It's provided a consistent high-speed internet connection to the many devices in my home with only the rare power cycle required (my last modem needed nearly daily power cycles). Thanks Netgear!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Netgear Modem Review I recently purchased this modem as I was tired of paying my cable company the modem rental. I was surprised at how easy it was setup. I was up and running in 10 mins. so far the modem is working well and the speed has improved. Would recommend this product to anyone trying to install their own modem.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fast speed and quick setup! I thought setting up my own internet equipment would be fraught with issues and scheduled a long afternoon just for the task, determined to do whatever it took to break free from the slow unreliable rental equipment. Little did I know I would break open the box and 5min later be online. Literally took 5min and I was up and running above the download/upload speed I had before and since then it’s hasn’t been interrupted even once!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great WiFi Works really well so far. Easy set up, although it seemed like it could have come with more instructions. It involved an hour on the phone with comcast, and then another chunk of time with netgear support to get it running. The call with netgear was helpful, but why couldn't the instructions be more user friendly to avoid that call altogether? Overall I am happy with my experience.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to set up The process to set up this cable modem is so easy but, what makes it difficult is having to register the modem with your cable provider. After several minutes you're good to go but, in my case I had to then contact Netgear's technical service due update my Netgear wi-fi router because of the new Netgear cable modem. All in all it worked out but, just something to know in case you have troubles.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does What it is Supposed to Do. Performance seems to be fine (haven’t used it very long yet)— the only reason for four stars is that I feel like Netgear is wanting to sell service programs more than hardware.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Takes Charge of Entire Network Just so you know, this modem once setup correctly may do a factory reset on your wireless router if it's also a Netgear product. Setup was time consuming. Allow ample time for the settings to take affect, like an hour or more after running through the settings. After setup this modem works like a champ.

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 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.

Couldn't be happier with this combo and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anybody looking to improve speed and coverage.

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. :(

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful The Netgear CM500 was highly recommended by a friend that worked for Time Warner. After some research, I purchased on and installed in on a Comcast system. Never have regretted cutting the cable and giving Comcast back their modem. Should have done this years ago. The instructions that came with the unit were easy to read and understand and the CM500 communicated with Comcast with no problems. Would give this unit a A ++++++

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Couldn’t use it I purchased this item refurbished so I’m unsure if that’s why I had issues but the modem wouldn’t connect to my internet provider. 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.

I dont have a defect cause it very clear to see that it is overheating and needing air. I have took it apart and checked it out and that poor thing is almost dead inside. Have tried lots of modems and this by far is the worse one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Little and mighty This modem came to replace a rental from Netflix. Much smaller (not a combo) and yet really strong in transmitting the signal to the router and throughout the house. Being still not in its proper place I found that it barely affects the signal and can’t wait to experience its full potential once its situated in the designated spot.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No More Internet Problem! I bought the CM500 to replace the modem/router hardware I was renting from Spectrum. With the Spectrum hardware, we constantly had problems with our internet, often requiring the modem/router to be reset. With the CM500 modem and Nighthawk router, we have not had any dropped connections. We're finally getting the internet service I expected and we don't have to pay Spectrum's monthly charge for their terrible equipment. Now we can surf and stream to our heart's content with no worries. The CM500 modem and Nighthawk router combination is highly recommended.

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.

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works as advertised This modem replaced a fifteen-year-old Cisco modem. You will not be surprised that performance instantly improved. Installation with Xfinity was problem-free. Three online users with ten devices, including smart TV, are happy. There are (potentially) faster modems out there, and maybe more durable, but at this price I'm sure it will more than redeem itself in comparison with the rental option.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Netgear modem I purchased this modem to replace the Xfinity Wi-Fi crap that I’ve been paying too much every month. The first one I got had some issues but Amazon immediately sent me a second one and this one has been great. It’s nice not to have to deal with a dual device Wi-Fi does not need to reside on the motor. I have a much better Wi-Fi router, so thanks for Netgear for a basic and very economical modem

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great modem I bought this as a replacement for my Xfinity provided cable modem that I’ve been paying monthly for for years. The first one I got didn’t work, but the second one has been smooth as silk can’t even notice any difference, in fact, for somethings streaming is even better less choppy, I’m thinking that it’s because this is a modem only I have my own Wi-Fi router and never used the Wi-Fi on the Xfinity device. This was a great purchase and I recommend it to anyone. It was really a good price on Black Friday.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing I am not good with technology. At all. I ordered this to save me from having to rent one from a provider. It was very easy to install and handle myself and works amazing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Save $14 I ordered the CM500, Netgear MODEM to save $14 a month Comcast rental fee. The bounce is this MODEM is much better then the old Comcast MODEM. I have not had to rest the unit like the old MODEM. Good buy!

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 Faster & compatible Switched from a very old Netgear modem. If course it faster and compatible with Xfinity, AT & T, and other service providers. Ours is Xfinity and picks up a strong signal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy, even for me Was tired of outrageous Comcast rental fees and a modem with the built in router was not working properly. Purchased this unit which will pay for itself in 6 months. Easy to set up even for a non-tech person like me!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Netgear Everything I have stayed with Netgear for some years now and no serious disappoint yet. Tech change so fast that sometimes you aren't aware that you have upgraded until you pay closer attention to logs and stats. The CM500 in tandem with the R7000 and the home server, RN102 i guess, makes me a Netgear Fan..!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from True to Form 4 stars as I only have it for less than a month, but so far so good, and it works as advertised. Install was easy and works seamlessly with a different brand router. Internet connectivity has been great and speed has been fast. I am happy with the cable modem so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fast, dependable We have been having trouble with our internet dropping in and out for the last year approx. I finally decided to do something about it and upgraded our modem and we have gone from having to reset our modem 2 to 4 times in the evening to not having to reset it once in the last week we have had it. I am very satisfied with the upgrade and I went ahead and bought the refurbished model and saved $20.

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 Works Well With Xfinity I have been using this every day, going on four years, with no issues. It does seem to run a little hot, but again, no issues. The one time I called support with a question, they were less than helpful.
