Review on Renewed NETGEAR CM500-100NAR DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem | Max Download Speeds of 680Mbps | XFINITY, Time Warner, Cox, Charter & More Compatible by Alex May

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So far great for computers and accessories

I'm nervous and bought this modem to replace a broken Motorola SB6120 I've had for almost 10 years. It's 16x4 and almost doubles the carrying capacity I had on the bike, which is good news. When Spectrum came in to restore service they left me an Arris GD1670A which is a 32x4 and with my current plan it doesn't matter that I get the same throughput both up and down as that is the real difference. After receiving the device I called Spectrum, gave them the MAC address and was online for a few minutes. Arris (14W), but still essential for something that runs 24/7. I love that these refurbished units come with almost no packaging. No stupid paperwork nobody reads anyway, no flyers with free lollipops if you donate an organ, no nonsense.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Not the best
