The netgear cm400 docsis 3. Is a simple device to install. It is small and easy to set up anywhere without taking up much space, and still comes with enough lan ports for a few devices.

Bought april 2017, over a year of quality service. Works flawlessly with xfinity and is super inexpensive. Works well with my 50mb service.

    I then connected the cable modem to my router and that didnt work even after trying all the troubleshooting steps and playing with various dhcp and lan settings in the router


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The issue was if you connect a new device to the cable modem like a different pc or a router after you have activated the provisioned the modem the first time it will not work


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    To resolve this i had to switch off the modem disconnect it from power supply for 30 mins and then start again

    Pays itself off in just 2 months of rental charges for modem by provider


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I ordered this modem to keep from having to pay xfinity to rent their modem at 15 a month plus tax

    I ran into a problem so don’t make the same mistake i did

    You have to get a router to go with it to use the wireless capabilities
