Review on 💻 NETGEAR CM500 Cable Modem: High-Speed and Reliable Internet Connectivity by Joshua Days

Well I've had the little one for almost a year now and I have to say I can't recommend it. It would have been completely different 4 or 5 months ago, because everything started out great. When I first got it, it was easy to set up for Comcast and I noticed an immediate increase in speed over the old standard modem. Everything was great for many months, but then I started having disconnecting (actually freezing) issues. At first I thought it was a crappy Comcast, but I soon realized it was a modem. It will feel very hot. Even though all the lights were green I knew something was wrong because when it happened I couldn't even connect to the admin console (the password prompt didn't even show up). By inference, I came to the conclusion that the modem failed due to overheating.
