I bought this cable modem after some study and evaluation of popular cable modems for sale. I decided to buy it because I don't like the preset configuration of the Spectrum cable modem that comes with the Spectrum subscription. I prefer one that is not pre-configured and I'm glad I bought my own cable modem now that I have it.I went to the Spectrum website to find pre-approved modem models that are compatible with Spectrum equipment (you can do this with any cable company). I found that there are a lot of modems that are compatible, and I selected one based on the speed of my account and the price. I run about 300 MB/s speed, so I selected the Netgear Cable Modem model CM700 because it's rated for at least 400 MB/s and the price was very reasonable when compared to the competition.I was pleased with the CM700 right out of the box. It's much smaller than most other cable modems, and like most, it's mindlessly easy to hook up. It has a power plug that goes to a 110 volt AC outlet, a cable plug that goes to the cable outlet on the wall, and an ethernet plug that can plug into a PC, or a router/wireless router, or even into a network switch (gigabit switch).Once I took the CM700 out of the box, I looked at the quick-start guide, and I had the CM700 set up and running in less than a minute. I tested it, and it gives great speed too. The CM700 plugs into my wireless router (the uplink plug). It feeds the wireless router and a PC that is wired directly to one of the wireless router ethernet output plugs. The wireless speed I get from this set up is excellent, and the direct-connect speeds I get exceed my expectations. Look at the pictures, and you'll see from the quick-start guide how easy the CM700 sets up.The only criticism I have of the CM700 is that it seems to run warm, but then again, it has no malfunctions whatsoever. Also, I'm guessing that it has a great internal heat-sink, and I see that it has lots of holes for air ventilation, so that keeps it within the operating temperature range.Overall, I rate the CM700 a 5 star unit, based on both performance and price.

Reminder: it's just a modem. If you want Wi-Fi, you'll have to get a wireless router (and make sure it can handle the capacity of the modem or there's no point in having a relatively high-capacity modem).This was very easy to set up. It took a little while to get everything up and running, but that was because I had to call my ISP (RCN) and have them validate or recognize the modem before I could use it. That was time-consuming, but I can't dox this product for that.The modem is very small and kind of cute in a Darth Vader sort of way. The signal seems very good and reliable.A few notes on setup: the instructions assume you do not have an ISP already, so the first bit of instructions are about getting one. It's a little odd. Depending on the phone response time of your ISP, which, let's face it, is rarely very quickly, you might want to get on the phone with them before you start setting up the modem. That way, you can spend the time waiting for tech support physically setting up the modem and connecting it to your cable, getting the power supply how you want it, getting the ethernet cable plugged into your computer, etc. They recommend plugging the ethernet cable into your computer before you plug it into your Wi-Fi router. I have to agree, but you can still get everything ready to go once your ISP validates the new modem.Note: you may think this whole process will not take very long, but remember, if this is replacing something, you will also have to reset any device that you have linked to a previous router and wi-fi system. One suggestion I read said to change the name and password of the new system to be the same as the old system so that, for example, your smart items (plugs or whatever) will just transfer over. But that didn't work. I had to reconnect all of my smart items and redo all of my Wi-Fi connections on my phones and tablets and laptops. It took time.

As a 20 something year old, I am all about saving some money, even if there's a decent upfront cost to saving money. I've had Spectrum cable for the past 5 years and have always used my own modem to save myself from the monthly modem rental charge. Two years ago my area had a huge speed increase in our internet offerings which resulted in the need for a newer Cable Modem that was capable of handling faster speeds.NOT ALL CABLE MODEMS ARE CAPABLE OF THE TOP TIER HIGH SPEED INTERNETMy package was the 300x20 which led to me needing a new modem which is when I bought the Netgear CM700. Got it delivered, called Spectrum and gave them the MAC address of the modem. Boom. Up and running at my 300x20 speeds in 30 minutes.You don't do much with Cable Modems once they are installed but this one has worked great for almost 2 years now with absolutely no issues. It has a great design to look modern and has a good base to hold it up.Highly recommend if you are looking to not pay your ISP their monthly charge for a cable modem rental or if your current modem isn't giving you your desired speeds!

When I bought the NETGEAR CM-700 modem in Jan. 2019, Comcast speeds were just getting to 6-700Mbps. I bought it because specs said it was "capable of up to 1.4GBPS". Upgraded my plan yesterday to 1GIG internet speed & found out 8-900Mbps is the best the CM-700 will do. Interesting that product description on Amazon now for the CM-700 state "For Cable Plans Up to 800 Mbps". NETGEAR needs to update their product description & specs.I've had the CM-700 in use, 24/7 for 38 months now. It has worked very well & updated quickly every time Comcast upped their internet speeds. I have it paired with a NETGEAR R6700AX WiFI router and get good WiFi speeds anywhere in our house. Will buy NETGEAR again, but double check specs first.
