My internet went down, so I found out that my equipment was alittle outdated (old)! So the first place I looked was for netgear. It's always been reliable and easy to use. Plus that's what I've always used...there's nothing better!

Works great. This router installed with no issues and required very little expertise. It's been very stable and seamless.

Very easy install/activation. Very little configuration. Works with all my previous devices/connections. The Nighthawk app is easy to use and works with my older router and the newer modem.

I had to upgrade my old Netgear modem to allow for my new internet speed of 800 mbps. The CM1200 was a very good value option. It is perfect for people who have a separate router and satellite system.

I've been a long time user of multiple networking devices by Netgear, most recently the Nighthawk AC1900 Modem/Router Combo with Wi Fi 5 capability. Although, I now have dedicated devices for Wi Fi 6, the CM1200 Modem has been a game changer with my Xfinity internet service.

Works very well most of the time. However I've been having periodic connection issues. The Xfinity service person verified internet and said this modem is not fully up to docsis 3.1 standard, that it is more a 'transition' modem between 3.0 and 3.1. I've had two separate service calls and they've blamed the modem each time. I've had it less than a year and will likely need to replace with a true 3.1 modem.

I finally cut the cord to cable. My xfinity modem/router had weak coverage and didn't want to pay to rent crap equipment. Handles streaming TV's and other devices throughout my home AND yard !

Upgraded my older model nighthawk modem to this one and it's a great improvement. Now my Internet speeds are up to what my service speed is supposed to be. Happy customer!

Chose this one based on reviews & Netgear's reputation. This modem made NO difference in speed. Waste of $$$

Just purchased new modem from Amazon. The setup required us to call our internet provider to set it up (unlike what the directions say about doing it with an Ethernet cord and laptop), but it was fairly quick and easy. It has run smooth ever since.

Only 1 Ethernet works on the modem, the rest are useless. I called tech support and after 30 min hold they said the same thing. I need to buy a router even with the other ports being available to use.

Happy to own 3 of these very fast CM1200 cable modems. We don't like paying the cable internet supplier forever for their equipment. These are very reliable and easy to setup units.

CM1200 was easy to hook up and the help line person at provided number for registration/warranty gave next steps for contacting internet provider and what they would need to complete the set up.

The product was highly recommended and I will keep it for future use but now I can not use it because My area has only dial up internet access with local telco your unit doesn't accept that type of feed. A coax input I did not realize that till I tried to install it. I am hoping for better service so I can use your product

I bought this to replace an older Nighthawk cable modem that was over 5 years old but still working. This unit was easy to setup and is faster. I'm very happy with this purchase.

I needed a new cable modem for my Orbi system at my vacation home. The older Nighthawk modem was starting have issues. It was easy to hook up and appears to have better speed. Very happy.

Simple to setup, activate and administer. Was able to use the DSL MAC to enable the modem myself on the xfinity web site. Speeds have tripled over my old Docsis 3.0 modem.

Bought this 2 years and Cox couldn't get it to work. Tried again Jan 2025 and once again Cox couldn't get it to work. It's my honest opinion that Cox is the problem. Two good installers and concerned service agents couldn't over come Cox's ignorant world of confusion when it comes to electronic service. I'm back to my CM500 and two full days of trial and error to get my service back working. Do I win the money now?

Great router, speeds are good. But this was confusing, as it has 4 separate Gb ports on the back. Thinking 4 separate wired devices could be directly attached, I purchased this unit. I came to realize that these are WAN/LAN ports, and cannot be used for direct connections to devices. A switch must be used after the router, as IP configurations are not available from these WAN/LAN Gb ports. Silly me. $200 mistake.
