Review on πŸ“Ά NETGEAR DOCSIS 3.1 Gigabit Cable Modem with 6.0 Gbps Max Download Speeds - Xfinity, Spectrum, Cox Compatible. Enjoy Gig-Speed from Xfinity! (CM1000) by Edward Freeland

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reboots are required, but not without reason (Updated 3-11-17)

I disagreed with the reviews I had read and decided to buy this modem. The modem itself is great. After some searching a problem was found with firmware 2.01.14 and it is believed that Netgear on Cox and Comcast will update to 2.01.15. I called Comcast and they said they don't have any information on this update yet. The firmware issue is causing the T3 and T4 timeouts. I hope they fix this. I was very happy that the modem did what it was supposed to do. Update 2-15-17 I rebooted this morning and the modem got a new firmware version, 2.01.15. I've been using it for a while and the uncorrectable values are 0 and the correctable values don't go over 50 per channel. I don't see any errors in the log all day. I'm running a mumble server that has 5 people connected to it, so just enough up/down to hiccup. I will update accordingly. Update 3-11-17 I've been using the modem for about a month now with updated firmware. There were no problems like the previous ones. The modem receives broadcast maintenance windows and reboots accordingly. It doesn't hang at boot where it has to be powered off and on again. It no longer turns off randomly. My speeds haven't changed as others have said with the update. They are all the same. I have given the modem a 5 star rating for the issues raised.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • I don't remember, but something happened
